I can't seem to connect to any muds with Mushclient or zMud, but when I use telnet they all work fine. Is there something I done wrong?
Can't connect to any MUDs with MUSH, but Telnet works just fine

Make sure any firewall or software is allowing that program to access the internet.
I don't think there's any firewalls running. Do I need to open some ports?
If it's working via telnet, then ports shouldn't matter. What error are you getting?
"Unable to connect to "Star Wars LOTJ", code = 10061 (Connection refused) Error occured during phase: Connecting to world: 204.209.44.23, port: 5000"
Some firewalls (ZoneAlarm springs to mind) block programs rather than ports. If you get some message like "MUSHclient is attempting to connect to the Internet - do you want to permit that?" and you answer "no", then you are likely to get such a response.
Try going into the Security Centre for XP and seeing if you have blocking set up.

Hmm it seems ZoneAlarm was running without me knowing. I disabled it and now its fine.
