supposed to. In my case, it's the new user procedure that needs to be disabled. Every time I connect, it's as a new user and the real nameisn't
accepted as the same as the handle (sbbs simply reports that it'seither a
dupe or invalid) as I think it's only 1 word.
And I told you how to disable that real name prompt.
Ok, I just went through every message from you to me and didn't see that. Could you please tell me again?
If you connect a second time with the same name, that wouldn't be another new user either, so "every time" sounds incorrect as well.
It is forcing me to create a new user each time I connect because the real name is invalid or duplicate. It doesn't say which. I have multiple users with the same handle and different real names... That on it's own is confusing.
Cool. I've never heard of it. Looks like it's running Synchronet: a-net-online.lol -- digital man (rob)
Yep, he's got it working so I can use that until I can manage this. I would love to work with you on this and will try to calm down my idiosynchracies (sorry I couldn't remember how to spell that) so that I'm easier to deal with. He spent about 2 years to get his to the state that it's at. Rob McGee (x-bit) also has a game server. His just asks for username and location as well as mouse reporting and ansi on new user connection. I was hoping to get to that state. Exodus also has one set up so that people can access sbbs games from his Renegade. If that many people can use it, it shouldn't be as difficult as I've experienced. Perhaps they all used a newer version.
I just went to the synchronet website, which seemed the logical
place to get the latest version. I did read the game server wiki (thanks to Stringray for pointing me to that) and follow it's instructions before I had my melt-down.

Thank you MRO, you were uncharacteristically understanding... As far as
I knew,I was running the latest version. I got it from the official website. Perhaps I'll try again.
I just don't deal well when things don't work the way they are
supposed to. In my case, it's the new user procedure that needs to

be able to get this to work, but until then I'll be semi-satisfied
with using the anet online game server for individual games.

Yes you have, but you're also known for being particularly crass. I was trying to be nice, not sarcastic. That was an honest thank you.
