| 2025-01-05 17:07 | Mishanthrope | blocked from outgoing, it's blocked from incoming except where needed |
| 2025-01-05 17:07 | Eglarion | just suggesting it for his testing |
| 2025-01-05 17:07 | Alyce | anything that doesnt generally get blocked sounds like a prime target |
| 2025-01-05 17:06 | Eglarion | beckon hora qp |
| 2025-01-05 17:06 | Mishanthrope | yeah generally port 23 doesn't get blocked because it's used by too many things.. so that would be a good test |
| 2025-01-05 17:04 | Alyce | the duece you say |
| 2025-01-05 17:04 | Sylas | aardwolf is on port 23 |
| 2025-01-05 17:04 | Mishanthrope | just for a test, it's not like there are any others worth playing ;) |
| 2025-01-05 17:03 | Zythrak | they're all a lie |
| 2025-01-05 17:03 | Zythrak | there are no other muds |
| 2025-01-05 17:03 | Zythrak | no, don't do that |
| 2025-01-05 17:03 | Mishanthrope | have you tried different muds that operate on different ports? |
| 2025-01-05 17:02 | Mishanthrope | I even had some network equipment out there, fiber for their training |
| 2025-01-05 16:59 | Alyce | i think xykoi is leading |
| 2025-01-05 16:59 | Grimlord | anything going on? |
| 2025-01-05 16:59 | Sylas | so xykoi is leading? |
| 2025-01-05 16:58 | Alyce | nooo |
| 2025-01-05 16:58 | Zythrak | race ya |
| 2025-01-05 16:58 | Mishanthrope | Tua sor |
| 2025-01-05 16:58 | Zythrak | who where? |
| 2025-01-05 16:58 | Mishanthrope | i dunno.. im mostly distracted watching videos.. |
| 2025-01-05 16:58 | Alyce | future drg sor i guess |
| 2025-01-05 16:58 | Mishanthrope | EHA? on a weekend? oh yeah.. i can't when im at work.. hmm.. |
| 2025-01-05 16:58 | Sylas | cackle! |
| 2025-01-05 16:58 | Zythrak | he sounds like a jerk |
| 2025-01-05 16:58 | Sylas | yeah, but now you have time to yap on hero, you have time to lead :) |
| 2025-01-05 16:57 | Mishanthrope | I was going to setup the content filter originally, but i had a huge work load so let a co-worker set it up instead, then he blocked access to it and wont let me in it.. |
| 2025-01-05 16:57 | Zythrak | that's what I heard |
| 2025-01-05 16:57 | Alyce | he should |
| 2025-01-05 16:57 | Sylas | shouldn't mishanthrope be leading ehas? |
| 2025-01-05 16:57 | Mishanthrope | the content filter is the only thing I don't have access to on the network... odd.. yes... I should.. |
| 2025-01-05 16:56 | Alyce | just hack your work network |
| 2025-01-05 16:56 | Zythrak | I just use chrome remote desktop onto my home computer *toe* |
| 2025-01-05 16:56 | Sylas | have you tried running xykoi's stuff? |
| 2025-01-05 16:55 | Mishanthrope | I have to bypass my work content filter in order to mud at work, otherwise im left with the website option only as well. |
| 2025-01-05 16:55 | Imrik | Zyth: May as well be. |
| 2025-01-05 16:55 | Alyce | at the request of the secret service |
| 2025-01-05 16:55 | Imrik | Might have to set up a VPN...I just wanted a few hours of brainrot...Now it's a chore! :D |
| 2025-01-05 16:55 | Zythrak | Are you currently in Antarctica? |
| 2025-01-05 16:55 | Imrik | Mis: Totally a possibility. |
| 2025-01-05 16:55 | Imrik | But I have woeful cell connectivity here, so that might not work for other reasons. |
| 2025-01-05 16:55 | Mishanthrope | yeah maybe your ISP is blocking it ;) |
| 2025-01-05 16:54 | Imrik | That's the desperation option :) |
| 2025-01-05 16:54 | Zythrak | phone hotspot? |
| 2025-01-05 16:54 | Imrik | Zyth, sadly no. |
| 2025-01-05 16:54 | Mishanthrope | so i'd look at firewall/cable modem/router check software/antivirus/windows firewall rules (although windows firewall rules are yes/no so I don't think you'd hit the MOTD). |
| 2025-01-05 16:54 | Zythrak | able to try a different network? |
| 2025-01-05 16:54 | Imrik | Guess I'll be rebuilding my linux drive... |
| 2025-01-05 16:54 | Alyce | then forcing companies to only yse their services via agreements |
| 2025-01-05 16:54 | Alyce | microsoft back then, like now, was jus stealing ideas from ppl |
| 2025-01-05 16:53 | Imrik | Well, explicitly allowing Zmud through the firewall didn't work. |
| 2025-01-05 16:53 | Alyce | seems one came after the other |
| 2025-01-05 16:53 | An immortal | whole discussion is making me want to rewatch IT crowd |
| 2025-01-05 16:53 | Mishanthrope | it's the cupholder too flimsy though, spilled my big gulp all over |
| 2025-01-05 16:53 | Alyce | no idea if windows owes something to dos |
| 2025-01-05 16:53 | Imrik | Alright...brb. |
| 2025-01-05 16:53 | Imrik | CD drive? I thought that was for making grilled cheese! |
| 2025-01-05 16:52 | Mishanthrope | im not sure how to even respond to that as a network engineer :p |
| 2025-01-05 16:52 | Alyce | windows |
| 2025-01-05 16:52 | Zythrak | have you tried putting beans in the CD drive? |
| 2025-01-05 16:52 | Alyce | widnows |
| 2025-01-05 16:51 | Sylas | dos based network? |
| 2025-01-05 16:51 | Dumbledore | i had to turn off safe mode to run my client |
| 2025-01-05 16:51 | Alyce | a *nix based network should be much better than a dos-based network |
| 2025-01-05 16:51 | Zythrak | nod mish |
| 2025-01-05 16:51 | Mishanthrope | it's letting it through for a bit, then stopping it |
| 2025-01-05 16:51 | Dumbledore | also, if windows 11 has safe mode turned on, he won't be able to run a client |
| 2025-01-05 16:51 | Mishanthrope | guarantee it's a network issue due to protocol |
| 2025-01-05 16:50 | Imrik | That's the next option...Have to reload my linux bootdrive tho... |
| 2025-01-05 16:50 | Mishanthrope | he said he isn't getting 2 way communication, which could be getting blocked by "AI style" anti-virus/malware that can be in firewall, routers, or on your computer yourself.. algorithm can decide it's unexpected traffic. |
| 2025-01-05 16:50 | Zythrak | on your home network? |
| 2025-01-05 16:50 | Alyce | *linux |
| 2025-01-05 16:50 | Alyce | os x or some flavor of linus.. |
| 2025-01-05 16:49 | Imrik | Hrm...Windows' telnet client chokes too... |
| 2025-01-05 16:49 | Dumbledore | if your windows 11 still has safe mode turned on, you probably wont be able to run a client |
| 2025-01-05 16:48 | Imrik | brb |
| 2025-01-05 16:48 | Mishanthrope | protons a good free one |
| 2025-01-05 16:48 | Mishanthrope | get on a vpn and try maybe? |
| 2025-01-05 16:48 | Mishanthrope | there are also content filters that will block it for some odd reason |
| 2025-01-05 16:47 | Someone | if they got to motd they are making a telnet connection already |
| 2025-01-05 16:47 | Mishanthrope | your https vs telnet |
| 2025-01-05 16:47 | Mishanthrope | could be your firewall/router since it's different networking protocols |
| 2025-01-05 16:47 | Nefas | you got virus? |
| 2025-01-05 16:47 | Dumbledore | did you turn off safe mode? |
| 2025-01-05 16:47 | Imrik | No worries :) |
| 2025-01-05 16:47 | Imrik | Got past the MOTD in Zmud and it choked. |
| 2025-01-05 16:47 | Mishanthrope | oh i probably said a bunch of things while you were off line. |
| 2025-01-05 16:46 | Imrik | Well, that didn't work. |
| 2025-01-05 16:46 | Mishanthrope | he said he tried mudlet |
| 2025-01-05 16:46 | Someone | time for mudlet! |
| 2025-01-05 16:45 | Mishanthrope | so it could be your router/firewall |
| 2025-01-05 16:45 | Mishanthrope | from a network perspective you are using a telnet protocol vs https: on the website.. |
| 2025-01-05 16:44 | Mishanthrope | if it's been more than 30 minutes since your last reboot and a bunch of software is acting up... reboot. |
| 2025-01-05 16:44 | Imrik | I'll give that check...It's only mud clients that appear affected tho... |
| 2025-01-05 16:43 | Zythrak | well, sometimes when you've got something going wonky, a quick reboot and closing down a buncha stuff can help |
| 2025-01-05 16:43 | Mishanthrope | run updates + reboot.. |
| 2025-01-05 16:43 | Reyhan | Rebooting is a valid fix :p |
| 2025-01-05 16:43 | Imrik | I think I'm due for a reboot, but that shouldn't be much of an issue... |
| 2025-01-05 16:43 | Dumbledore | did you turn off safe mode? |
| 2025-01-05 16:43 | Mishanthrope | create a new profile on mudlet? |
