| Okay here's the deal. I'm posting because I have read every post I could get my hands on here and still have solved my problem. I'll try to be as informative as possible.
(I am on XP Pro)
I download 177p16-noltar-NT.zip...
it unzips into Mydocuments/downloaded/pennmush/
I goto dos prompt from Start > Run > cmd
then I type...
cd C:\
it changes to c: directory
and so on and so on til I get to the Pennmush/Game directory.
I type Pennmush /run..
it works fine, no errors.
then I type pennmush /install
still good.
then I try pennmush /status
no service is running.
I then type pennmush /start..
it says requesting service..
then pennmush /status says no service is running!
pennmush /run also now gives me an error.
BTW, I can't connect to my Pennmush locally and neither can anyone else WAN or LAN. I am behind two things...
Dlink di 624(NAT Router)
and
Mcaffe ASAP Firewall
now in my router I tried port forwarding(I think so anyways..)
Here's a screenshot..

if that don't work..

I also opened port 4200 on my firewall.
4200 BTW, is what i've assigned for the MUSH to use, I also tried 4000 at one time but no such luck.
Please help.
Sincerely, Lumian

| You seem to be mixing up two problems here. You say no-one can connect. Did this happen before you installed the service? Certainly they won't be able to connect if the server is not running.
You need certain privileges to run services, make sure you have them. Not sure how to do that in XP, but it is one of the administrator functions. |
