zMud won't connect, other apps will
|
i can telnet to my favorite mud.
I can use gmud to get to my favorite mud.
I can use nanomud to get to my favorite mud.
but i'll be darned if I can connect to anything using zmud.
It happened recently after a windows update, and I have tried uninstalling EVERY windows update file that I could.
nothing seemed to work.
Does anyone have any idea? I try to connect, and it simply won't connect.
I have windows XP SP1, zmud 7.05, and it just doesn't seem to want to work
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling zmud, and that didn't work either.
OY! someone help me out please. |

Maybe check out Preferences to see if the Proxy stuff was turned on? If it can't find the Proxy you told it to look for, it won't connect.

i'll look at it. i can guarantee that it shouldnt' be set, because i have uninstalled, reinstalled, had MORE problems with my licensing, and started over from scratch.
so yeah. thanks. I'll give it a shot. :) |

Maybe you accidentally denied ZMud when it tried to access the internet? If you tell the firewall to block ZMud, ZMud's not going to be able to connect.
