[Opensim-users] Noobi question.

Almost everything I am getting is from the Wiki. Sometimes the information is conflicting and I have to figure out what one is fact and what one my have applied to previous version. The one that's getting me now is the Region.ini and the Default.xml On one page it says that the Default.xml should be in your regions directory, and someplace else it says that with ver 0.6.6 it wasn't created as part of the install and I need to make one manually and put it in the Bin directory. As for the Regions.ini. I finally figured out that should be for your default (Port 9000) region and all the others are regionname.xml
It also should be added to the configuration pages that you should use your hosts internal IP address and not 0.0.0.0 as it states elsewhere, and that you should use the IP address of your outside port on your modem and be sure to open the appropriate router ports. Set up port forwarding and be sure to open the ports on your firewall
Another tidbit should be to set up the IPTABLES correctly with the following commands
LINUX:
* iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT --dst $EXTERNAL_IP -p tcp --dport 9000:9010 -j DNAT --to-destination $INTERNAL_IP
* iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT --dst $EXTERNAL_IP -p udp --dport 9000:9010 -j DNAT --to-destination $INTERNAL_IP
* service iptables restart
* iptables -t nat -L -n <---- this lits the rules for nat so you can verify its set up right
Windows
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING --dst 68.185.20.134 -p tcp --dport 9000:9010 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.2.100
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING --dst 68.185.20.134 -p udp --dport 9000:9010 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.2.100
Put your proper IP's where indicated. also make sure you use the Exsternal IP address when setting up your client if your useing a seperate machine, even if its on the same network.
this is all in the WIKI but i think it couldn't hurt to be sure its all listed under configuration. Will save people setting it up for the first time and frustratingly having to dig through the documentation to find out why it isn't working. All in all the documentation is complete, its just a little spread out, and sometimes applies to different version. But I must applaud the people working on it for the vast collection of information. If you spend a little time looking you can find the answer to all your questions in there.

I hate to sound like a "broken record", but did you get all this into the wiki?
Hmm the only time I heard areal "broken record" that did that it was a 78 rpm (!) vinyl record called "Christmas at the Front" recorded during WWi I - even before MY time LOL
