I noticed that there is a link in divapreferences.ini to a metaverse
address:
[DataSnapshot]
index_sims = true
data_exposure = minimum
; 1 hour
default_snapshot_period = 3600
snapshot_cache_directory = "DataSnapshot"
data_services="http://metaverseink.com/cgi-bin/register.py"
What is that for? Do I need to change that?
Thanks, Kevin

Yes, that would be exactly that problem: 7391-398 > 4096.
You'll have to move them closer.
I guess I could generate those numbers in a smaller range too.
I'll do that next time.
