The Rlogin.RemoteIP line is the IP you want to accept connections FROM. So you wouldn't use the local IP of the machine it's hosted on, which is what I'm assuming is 192.168.0.8 is, unless you only wanted connections from that IP, which is why I think you're only getting connections accepted from that machine as near as I can tell from what you're trying to say. I dunno, it's a little hard to parse it all. I'd have to go through this thread again just to see if that's what you're saying.
Just in case you don't already know, if you make a change to the appsettings.json file for the IP line you'd need to restart MBBSEmu for changes to take effect. I know that's obvious, but I see a lot of people that don't know you generally need to restart a program after making changes to a settings file.
I've got it working no problem for DoorParty. I have it running in a different VM than DoorParty on a separate IP with the Rlogin.RemoteIP line set to the DoorParty VM's IP, and it works fine. No firewall rules or anything needed adjusting.
Lemme go through the thread again and I'll edit this message before sending it out just to make sure.
