Some questions:
Have you ever been able to connect to this game? Are you able to connect to other games? Can you connect to this game from computers outside your local network?
I was able to telnet in the normal way, so perhaps your local network (or ISP) has some kind of port blocking, or you are indeed siteblocked by accident at some level or another (perhaps not by the MUSH itself), etc. Does the MUD have a website on the same address?

Random Picks
I'm trying to get to the game on mush.pokemorph.com:2222. I can establish a connection, but am not displayed the MUSH's welcome screen, and my connection is dropped seconds after I connect.
So basically
Attempt to connect to mush.pokemorph.com:2222
Connection is established
Connection dropped
Folks at the PennMUSH website said it might be because my IP or ISP is sitelocked. I emailed the MUSH's administrator and they said neither my IP or ISP is on the banlist.
I'm on a LAN, and I've tried connecting with other computers in the lan with the same results. :(
Does anybody know what might be going on, or has experienced something like this?
