| | Depends. From your LAN, use the LAN IP. If not, use the outgoing IP. |

Ipconfig shows your LAN IP. |

| You'll have to check what port the MUD is running on. Should be defined in the source.
If you're behind a router and they can't connect, make sure the port is open, and you may have to do port fowarding too. |

| | Yes, in the MUD source. I know nothing about PennMUSH though. Try doing a port scan or checking your router config if the port is open. |

If you have been playing it, you must know what port you have connected to. For PennMUSH it is usually 4201 unless you have changed it.
With a router you need to configure it so that if an incoming call is made to port 4201 (or whatever it is) then that is "forwarded" to whatever your internal IP address is of your PC (eg. 192.168.0.10).
If you don't do that, the router has no idea of which PC serves (ie. is the server for) that port. |
