This patch will allow you to bind Rom 2.4 muds to static IP addresses. The patch is short, and simple, but in some cases, required. Installation Instructions ========================= 1) Move the patch file (Rom24-IP_binding.patch) to your src directory (Rom24/src) 2) Apply the patch: patch < Rom24-IP_biding.patch 3) Adjust the value of IP_SERVER in comm.c to reflect the IP address you wish to bind to. For example, to bind your mud to "mud.com", your IP_SERVER definition would look like: #define IP_SERVER "mud.com" 4) Recompile, and reboot. 5) You're done. If you do not have a specific IP that you wish to bind to, leave IP_SERVER alone. It defaults to "localhost". If you have questions/comments/suggestions, feel free to bug me at wordweaver@usa.net. =============================================================== | Bobby Bailey | Chil, Implementor of: | | Computer Science Student | The Traveller's Tale | | Georgia Southern University | telnet://i2i.mudsrus.com:1235 | ===============================================================
