Ok, I updated my router/modem.
What i realize now is the following:
If i enable Port forward, when i try and connect it no longer goes into the router's own telnet server, but instead it just refuses to connect.
I tried a website which tests port forwarding and it says my Port 23 is CLOSED.
Question time:
Does that ^^ mean that it is CLOSED from the router or the computer?
I have a Mac and my BBS is running in Windows7 in Parallells.
Could Snow Leopard be keeping the telnet CLOSED?
Is it worth my trying to run the BBS from my old WindowsXP laptop ?
Telnet is closed by default on the Mac. You may need to turn it on.
