Except that no "normal" person outside of a small handful, even knows<br>
what a UDP server is.... just saying.<br>

That's why I avoided that term and suggested to use "UDP messages" instead. The acronym "UDP" is regularly used in firewall configurations and should at least give the "normal" user a hint to what needs to be done there.<div>

Hey,<br>
<br>
Remember when we had that discussion about changing the default grid<br>
login text that appears in the client during login from Welcome Avatar<br>
to something else?<br>
<br>
While doing tests and helping someone out with UDP Server<br>
configuration, this idea popped into my head.<br>
<br>
How about changing it to, "Welcome, if the client says 'Connecting To<br>
Region..' and then disconnects, your UDP server isn't configured<br>
properly, check your settings"<br>
<br>
See, we actually get a bunch of help requests on this very issue.<br>
The client isn't very descriptive when this condition occurs. Some<br>
of the time, people even think OpenSimulator is broken when they<br>
simply need to fix their configuration.<br>
<br>
This could be a way to have a default message that makes sense,<br>
reduces new user frustration, and doesn't mention OpenSimulator.<br>
<br>
Seems like a win win to me, what do you think?<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
Teravus<br>

I think this is a good idea. I would change the message to something that<br>
might be easier to understand by a normal user. For example: "Welcome. If<br>
the viewer says 'Connecting to Region...' and then disconnects, UDP messages<br>
are not coming through; check your firewall settings."<br>
