So I'm running Windows XP inside a VirtualBox.
MajorBBS wants to know the IP Address,Local Network Mask, Gateway IP Address,
Primary domain name server, and secondary domain name server.
The ipconfig /all reports an ip address of 192.168.0.77, gateway ip address as
255.255.255.0, prim domain name server is 192.168.0.1 and the same for the
secondary.

The main ip address coming into the router is 76.156.142.14.
I have opened port 23 on the router and the firewall.
I sill can't get it to accept any income telnet calls.

Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Rick
