[Opensim-users] HyperGrid Issues

Thu Dec 27 14:14:07 UTC 2012

I forgot to add, if you're serious about running your own publicly
accessible Opensim grid from home, I'm a big fan of registering an actual
domain name and getting a static IP address from your ISP - that resolved
nearly all the networking issues I ran into when I was first trying to set
up FleepGrid. I never could get the dyndns and NAT loopback stuff working
properly on my network.

Sincerely,

- Chris/Fleep
