  • Very dumb question

    From Mega Man@21:1/206 to All on Thursday, February 18, 2021 15:29:29
    I hate to ask this very basic and dumb question. Once you setup Mystic BBS and have it configured the way you want it to be. You load the server ( mis) and your up and running. How have you configured you network so that you can get incoming telnet calls? What other steps have you done to be online?

    On linux I have to open or forward the ports 23, 24554 and any other needed ports in my router. In my router the option is called Forwarding. I tell my router to forward those ports to my BBS machine.

    On windows I think you will need to allow the ports also in your windows firewall.

    I'd also add to that I would arrange some domain name that folks can telnet
    too that links to your IP address be that static or dynamic.

    That's another detail. I use trmb.synchro.net, provided by Synchronet and it's developers. I also use trmb.ddns.net, provided freely by noip.com. Both support both IPv4 and IPv6.

    ... Gee! How'd you ever get it to do THAT?
