Can anyone find the time to call in and test out my BBS?


mkbbs.dnsalias.org


Thanks a lot!

Well still no dice. Here's what I did (please feel free to let me
know what I did wrong).

I went into the D-Link router advanced settings and clicked the
firewall settings and clicked "edit" for the TELNET setting. I then
allowed incoming traffic to PORT 23 and clicked "SAVE."


Then I selected ip address 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.128 LAN to LAN,
and again WAN to LAN and again LAN to WAN and then SAVED THEM ALL!


Then went into the filters section and clicked "disable" to enable
access to the internet through addresses 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.128
and PORT 23-23 then SAVED IT ALL!

So now that I opened all the ports, I will try to call Cottonwood BBS
again tonight and see what happens there using Novaterm 9.6 because at
this point, I'm FAR BEYOND DRIVEN over the matter..... :(:(:(:(



Thanks for all the help so far. I'll wait till Andrew gets here next
week and see what he can find and if nothing goes well there, then
I'll just have to rearrange my living room again and go back to TELNET
SERVER (which I don't want to use, I want to use my LANTRONIX!).

Hmm maybe a few suggestions.
I just tried Nmap
$ nmap -P0 -p23 mkbbs.dnsalias.org

Starting Nmap 4.20 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2008-04-08 01:59 EST
Interesting ports on adsl-75-51-91-117.dsl.lsan03.sbcglobal.net
(75.51.91.117):
PORT STATE SERVICE
23/tcp filtered telnet

Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 12.305 seconds

Which means you telnet port is visible on the Internet but for some
reason nothing can connect to it. So either your modem is not sending the
packets to the computer running the telnet server or the telnet server
itself is not working properly.

It may be possible that you have another software firewall installed
somewhere that is causing problems. But that firewall would need to be on
the machine with the telnet server.

can you connect from another machine in your network to that telnet
server?
