Is there a way to disguise my ip when I connect to a mud, for example if i was connecting on one computer in my house but then had another person who wwanted to pay on a different computer in my house, is there a way to disguise the ip?

Not sure I understand your question. Are you trying to both on MUD that does not allow multiplay and verifies by checking your IP address? If that's the case, I don't think there's much you can do. zMud doesn't hide or disguise IP address or ports... (prevents circumventing corporate security etc.)

If you've got zMud installed on two PC's and are playing on different MUDs or different times then you should not have an issue. If I completely missed what your asking, could you give more clarification on your question?

connect to a BBS that lets you telnet out is pretty much the easiest way to multiplay without getting caught. so find a free one that lets you do it is my recommendation

I would advise not cheating, its not fair to those around you not to mention yourself. If it is for 2 differant players on the same internet connection talk to your muds Admins. Usually if they are away of this they will let you both play.

First if your using a hub then most likely you actually do have distinct IP addresses. If your network configuration uses a router; then on most routers you may chose to expose one the computers to a direct gateway interface, this will cause the IP to be assigned from the same level that the router's was. Your final option is tunnelling/proxies. Someone mention one form of tunnelling above, and that is probably about the most you will get on these forums.
