Anyone else having connection issues with Materia Magica?

Apparently I am the only one having issues connecting to the mud. I have posted on the forums and everyone seems stumped as to why I cannot connect. The server is running and I am using materiamagica.com in the server/ip address box and I have used port 4000, 23, 6666, and 8000 but the server keeps disconnecting me. "The "Materia Magica" server has closed the connection" Is what I am getting every time I try to connect.

This is not my first time playing the MUD as I have done so in the past with this computer and had no issues connecting. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I have even tried the website's flash client and my brother's tablet and macbook, but still no luck.

I just emailed the admins at Materia Magica as this seems to be a problem on their end.

It has been resolved. Apparently my IP address was conflicting with an unrelated IP ban on their end. I know for sure I did nothing in game to warrant a ban, but since it was unrelated, I have nothing to worry about. If anyone plays the game my name is Armillary!
