   Why are you running Synchronet and giving tech support in the Renegade   
   group?   
      
   See how easy it is to be a smart ass on usenet?   
      
   Bigswifty - Check out your router config and make sure you are not   
   blocking the ports there. The box running mbbs should not be   
   contacting a real or simulated DHCP server but rather should be   
   assigned a local IP address. 192.168.1.1 being the router and tell   
   your DHCP to start assigning IP's at 192.168.1.100 and go up. Then   
   assign the mbbs box the IP 192.168.1.99 (you can also assign others at   
   98 and so forth) That makes your mbbs box constant or static in your   
   local network. Then in the router config (it varies with routers) tell   
   the router that any connections to port (tell it the ports mbbs will   
   use) be sent to local IP address 192.168.1.99 - That alone may fix   
   your connection problems. Also remember to reboot the whole network   
   when you make these changes to the router config just to be sure your   
   not stepping on your old configuration. Reboot the router too.. and   
   first.. after the computers are turned off.   
      
   If your forcing an IP assignment and forcing port connections to that   
   box you can then pretty much rule out network blocks and non-mbbs   
   related connection issues. :)   
      
   Good luck and good computing..
