Followed the readme setting up MRC. Everthing is configured as out outlined in the readme.
connecting to a server. I logged in to a Mystic board with MRC and everthing is good over there. So what am I doing wrong??
Your BBS might need to be restarted so that the mrc-connector service starts up.
The MRC client tries to connect to mrc-connector on localhost:5000 by default. This is configured in xtrn/mrc/mrc-client.ini. Depending on how you've set your system up, you may need to substitute 'localhost' for whatever interface your service(s) listen on.
Ok.. is localhost:5000 a requirent to connect to MRC servers?? Can I use anything I want? Lets say localhost:23211 or localhost:9999 ??
MarisG says everthing is set up per MRC readme
MRC doesn't work.

Havens BBS (havens.synchro.net)
on the list of connected BBSes. So, I opened up port 5000 on my router (which might not even have been the cause of the problem, but I did open
it up anyways), then I went and TRIPLE-checked, and saw that I left some of the default settings that I should have changed to reflect my BBS, and it worked!

I don't think there are any settings that need to be changed (in mrc-connector.ini or mrc-client.ini) to get it working out of the box. If this really did fix something, I'd like to know which setting if you remember.
