==Windows Firewall==

On Server 2008, Vista or Windows 7, you'll need to configure the "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" to enable access from the viewers on another machines. Here's what you can do:

#Click Start and then click Control Panel. In the Control Panel, click System and Security and then click Administrative Tools. In Administrative Tools, double-click Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. Or you can even direct access by typing "WF.msc" in the Run textbox in the start menu.
#Select Inbound Rules in the left pane and click New Rule under Inbound Rules in the Actions Pane. The New Inbound Rule Wizard will launch.
#First on '''Rule Type''' screen, select '''Port'''. Click Next to continue.
#On '''Protocol and Ports''' screen, select '''TCP''', then select '''Specific local ports:''' and fill in the value '''9000''' (if standalone mode; If grid mode, it will be '''8002'''). Click Next to continue.
#On '''Action''' screen, select '''Allow the connection'''. Click Next to continue.
#On '''Profile''' screen, leave it as is and click Next to continue.
#On '''Name''' screen, give the rule a name and any description. Click Finish to create the rule.
#Repeat 2-7 step above to create the same rule for '''UDP''' as well.

==McAfee Security==

McAfee Security does not allow applications to listen on ports not explicitly specified. You have two options: 1) disable firewall protection all together, 2) enable <tt>OpenSim.exe</tt> to be able to open ports.

Disable Firewall - Open McAfee SecurityCenter. Select "Internet & Network". In the lower left corner is a small link to "Configure...". Select this. In the right side of the window, select the bar that says "Firewall protection is enabled". Here you can select "Off".

Enable <tt>OpenSim.exe</tt> to Open Ports - Open McAfee SecurityCenter. Select "Internet & Network". In the lower left corner is a small link to "Configure...". Select this. In the right side of the window, select the bar that says "Firewall protection is enabled". Select the "Advanced..." button. This will pop up a new window.

In the new window, on the left side, select "Program Permissions." In the middle on the right side of the window, select the "Add Allowed Program" button. Use the browser that pops up to find the OpenSim executable and select it.

Finally, select "OK" and exit the McAfee SecurityCenter window.

		+	If you have newly installed openSuSE, you'll find this kind of firewall is active by default. To let external viewers access OpenSimulator, edit the configuration file:
		+	<pre>
		+	sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	Inside this file, you'll find the two lines including "FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP" and "FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP". Change them so that they look like:
		+	<pre>
		+	FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP="9000" # for standalone / use "8002" if grid mode
		+	...
		+	FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="9000" # same as above
		+	</pre>
		+	and save it.
		+
		+	Finally, run reload command:
		+	<pre>
		+	sudo /sbin/SuSEfirewall2
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	You can now access your OpenSimulator from outside.
