Tutorials

Doors

  • Couldn't get this to work, something about not finding the cdrom drive.

Troubleshooting

• "Connection Terminated" may be caused by the IP addresses being added to the IP blacklist. Not sure what caused this to happen, but the solution was to run ./mystic -cfg and commenting out the IP addressed that were blacklisted.
• running mystic in SERVER mode (as opposed to DAEMON) allowed to show what was happening when we couldn't login

Accessing BBS

• Download a client such as NetRunner: http://mysticbbs.com/downloads.html
  • Note that the top part of this page is the downloads for MysticBBS, you want the NetRunner app
  • If downloading on linux, you may have to use wget rather than download via web browser. I don't know why downloading via webbrowser is borked for their server, but it's been resulting in corrupted downloads.
• Connect to 10.56.0.31
