I just installed Ubununtu and I cant get mushclient to connect using a proxy.. Is this able to be done?? Is it something to do with the Ubu having a port closed??

Are you sure the proxy works?
#2
Yes im positive the proxy works

this is the error I get whenever i try to connect

unable to resolve host name for "themudsipaddress.org", code = 1103(this is a non-recoverable error)

and yes the mud is up and working too..

hrm instresting I got it working and I found out why. I guess under windows if you start a proxy with 0 it just ignores it but under linux and using wine it will throw up an error and wont connect.

Starts with 0? Where do you mean? The IP address?

Yeah for some reason the sock i was using was like 058.76.123 not the exact one... but it worked fine like that under windows but It didnt want to work under wine like that.

Just guessing

It's a string being converted to a number ...

A leading zero in a string passed to a linux library might be interpreted as meaning treat the number as octal, not decimal, so "058" would be an invalid string to convert.

Windows, on the other hand, may be coded not to consider the leading 0 as meaning octal?

This might explain the problem, and if so, might be something that's worth being aware of.
