Greetings,
I have some questions about connectivity for you gurus out there. I do not
*think* what I am asking about is probably that hard, but I can't get it to
work so here goes. =)
I have one computer which runs linux on it. That is the computer I develop
and run my mud on. The mud, if this matters, started as CircMUD 3.0
bpl17. Anyways, it compiles fine and then I go into my "Konsole" screen
from my x window system. Then we change directories and type in "./autorun
&". This is followed by "telnet localhost 4000"
Stick with me, I swear I'm not trying to bore you to death. <g> This all
works wonderfully. I connect up and can play, look around, etc.
Here's the problem. Computer number 2 sits next to this computer. BOTH
computers have ethernet cards and there is a connecting ethernet wire
between them. Both cards are 3com 10/100 versions I am pretty sure.
*Whew* stick with me...here's the point. I want to access my mud via
computer #2. How?
I sit at #2 and start up telnet (this seemed way to simple to me anyway)
and typed in telnet localhost just to try and connect to #1 running linux.
Of course it didn't work, let alone enter the mud.
I know some of you out there can get me through this. I hope it isn't toooo
hairy. If you'd like to not choke the list with this we can communicate
off list about it.
I'd love to get this working, and I know it works somehow but, alas, I'm
not bright enough. Thanks in advance guys/gals.
Looking forward to your brilliance,
Jason
