Self-Hosting

Alrighty, I've pretty much got things set up and ready...but herein lies the problem; I'm broke. I tried setting up the MUSH to run on my computer, and it works when I'm running Hamachi-- but is there a way to host it, without setting up a VPN? Telnetting straight to my IP from another computer doesn't seem to work...is there some sort of special setup I need to do?

As a sidenote, Hardrive, memory, bandwidth etc shouldn't be an issue; until I've got all the kinks worked out, it'll be a private game, available to a good half-dozen people only.

Newsfiles, but no news directory!

This's been bothering me to no end. I can go in and edit up index.nws and pennmush.nws, and typing 'news (news file)' works like a charm. But here's where I hit a little problem; typing 'news' alone doesn't seem to bring up the index. Infact, all it gives me is 'No entry for 'NEWS'.' So, anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
