[Opensim-users] Diva Distro - Hitting Walls

[Fleep Tuque]

Is there any anti-virus software installed on the machine?  I had a similar
nightmare install and kept checking and re-checking my network settings and
in the end it turned out the virus protection "active scanning" stuff was
causing the problem.  (In my case it was Avast).  Turned that off then
suddenly everything worked like magic.

Good luck!
