[Opensim-users] how can i assign one public ip to

Tue Jan 8 23:25:03 UTC 2013

In this case, the relevant use is the C# SDK method [1], as used in OpenSimUDPBase.StartInbound() for receiving UDP 
packets.  As you can see from the doc, specifying IPAddress.Any binds it to the 'most appropriate network address' (I've 
never been able to find out what 'most appropriate' actually means.).  And IPAddress.Any == 0.0.0.0.

So if you have more than one network adaptor, you need to choose the one which viewers should use.
