Welp,

Ragtop is right, Netvillage's worldlink is working again. For how long who knows, but I guess everyone can log into that for now until Rick resurfaces.

tonicfan

Anybody know if worldlink is gone again?
My BBS hasnt connected to it in a week even when I try to manually do it.
Did the IP Change?

Thanks

The IIS wasnt installed, something must have happened when I installed a net framework and it got disabled in the add/remove components section. How strange. Well I learned something here. I was able to still get the telnet to keep operating though, it was the web service and such that was not ...

I reset my computer tonight and started worldgroup and i got this error.
I was messing around with the microsoft net frame work but i put everything back as it was before and im still getting this error. I checked my router firewall and port 80 is open. I am also not running windows firewall. So i ...

This is a MUTANTS issue that i thought i installed a FIX for.
Anyone else have this issue?
Someone goes to cast a spell in the game that requires and object and this error will happen and the system will reboot.

A guy over a year ago gave me a fix for this issue i thought, but it didnt seem to work ...

Couple times in the past few days this Worldgroup error log has popped up with this error and the server restarts. Any idea why?

I wasnt able to find this anywhere on here in support.

Its an annoyance more than anything else. But I ...

For now connect to worldlink.netvillage.com
There are only about 6 systems on it, but that's what I did. Maybe if we get more systems on it it will be more active? Mostly MUDders tho.

tonicfan

Are they still charging like $50 for it? I'd rather play The Pit then

tonicfan

This may be an old question but i did not find it on here.
Anyone know how to get a copy of BladeMaster for WG? I know that the software company that made it charged like $200 for it awhile ago but I dont think they are in business. Its basically the PIT door game modified and i have the PIT on my ...

Weird, it works now. Very odd, must have been a glitch or something.

Hmm.. put that address in for worldlink and it doesnt seem to work right..

tonicfan

There is no other way to link up systems especially in teleconference?
Its nice to see whats going on other boards.

oh well.

Funny the thing has been down for months.

tonicfan

how can one get the new DLL?
I would like to connect again. Currently it will not connect

tonicfan

Quick question.
I forgot how to do this.
How does one ban certain IP addresses from accessing the worldgroup BBS both via telnet as well as web?

Thanks

tonicfan

Any update on this?
I will be willing to test a port of the game if someone wants.
Mostly my BBS is being used to test stuff out anyway as more people call my Synchronet BBS. So the WG has been more of a hobby these days. But I'd love to get my hands on the GE for WG 3

Welp, I tanked my majorbbs idea, its just not working.

Anybody know of anyone selling a worldgroup system for windows?
Just wondering i havent seen anything around, i am assuming most people who still own these are running them. I saw one on ebay a long time ago but that was the DOS version.

Thanks,

Welp,
I think its the packet driver, after putting everything on hold for awhile im back at it, and it just doesnt connect, ive even remoted into my computer and work and tried to telnet in and it doesnt work.

I guess now im screwed on this but i dont care much id love to get the major bbs to work ...

tonicfan

Welp, i checked the card and it gave me the following:

IP 192.168.0.1
255.255.255.0 mask

gateway 192.168.0.1

DNS 192.168.0.1

only one DNS was listed.

so i put in 0.0.0.0 into the secondary field.

its still not working.
Ive tried the other IP address that showed me online when i checked online ...

tonicfan

disable the IPX driver and then install it...some times it wont install with IPX installed.

Which is the IPX driver?

i have a NWLink IPX/SPX driver but thats been disabled the whole time.

Then there is TCP/IP for Microsoft v6 and a network monitor driver
also Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

No ...

tonicfan

SWSVPKT does not show up in my list of drivers after install.
Ive tried this one before, cuz i read it would work. but it doesnt show up in there, which is why i used the other one. I dont know why it doesnt show.
Then when i run the .exe file in dos it lists 0 adapters and fails to work with the ...

tonicfan

well i spoke too soon.

its not working agian.

it worked twice.

i think its the packet driver thats messing it up.... i dont get it. i may need to install a different version of this ndis packet driver, but i was able to get in, but after each time i couldnt get in again.... very weird and i didnt ...

tonicfan

FIXED! Well, kinda

Wow! it was the packet driver. somehow the packet driver was looking in the wrong place.

For some odd reason, thus far, i can login to it, not of course the real test will be if it can be done remotely, which of course i will test after i sleep for a year.

But i think it is ok ...

tonicfan

hmmm then you should be able to set the mbbs IP to 192.168.0.100 or the real IP and it work ...you had said before that the mbbs was set to 192.168.0.1 change that to 192.168.0.100 and it should work.

Tried the real IP and nothing i will try it again but i really messed with it hard core today ...

tonicfan

First make sure that you have the DHCP turned on unless you are doing static IPs, then set the starting and ending IP addresses, now click on virtual server and select the advanced tab, enable the virtual server and configure the name, the IP of the PC, the protocol type telnet, set the public port ...

tonicfan

Ok your router should be IP 192.168.0.1 and you would used that for the Gateway and DNS on the PC, the PC's IP should be set to obtain one automatically. you PC IP would not be 192.168.0.1 that is the router.

And as frcorey was pointing out and it went over my head was that in your router you will ...

tonicfan

Which IP address should be forwarded to the telnet?
Right now in my router the main 192.168.0.1 is pointing to port 23 for telnet.

TF

depends what you set in the NAT config.
my router uses 192.168.1.1 so I made my address
192.168.1.2 and set NAT to foward the bbs port calls to there.

I have a ...

tonicfan

yeah, try it without the router.
also, does your router and modem have NAT?
are all the ports open and redirected for the bbs?
what about your OS firewall?
I had to open and redirect ports on my modem and router and OS firewall.

Not sure about the NAT
Also, i have ports open for telnet and ...

I have only 1 computer connected to the router, where as i have a laptop (not bbs related) doing a wireless connection to it,
so yes the BBS computer (which is this one i am now) is connected to the router.

So if u are saying that the bbs computer is not direct.
Should i get rid of the router all ...

tonicfan

One thing i did notice is that the router gave different info for the DNS as what the ethernet card info gave.... not sure that matters.

One problem.
