[Opensim-users] Opensim and BT home hub 3

[Justin Clark-Casey]

This suggests that the simulator is having major problems contacting your robust instance.

Unless you're planning on having external simulators connect to your robust (which needs very careful consideration), 
you don't need to use external IPs such as http://dreamgrid.no-ip.org:8003/assets/ for simulator -> ROBUST comms.  Try 
LAN IPs (e.g. 192.168.2.1) instead.
