[Opensim-users] Opensim-users Digest, Vol 19, Issue 7

[Isis Ophelia]

Thanks so much Fred, your explanation was exactly what I needed to
configure the Windows Loopback Adapter. I will remove the line in the Hosts
file and configure the Adapter and see if that helps me.

A question. Do I need to do anything to the Etherneth connection? I mean
right now I had configured it so that this PC got a static internal IP
192.168.2.10. Do I leave it alone and do nothing to it and just configure
the windows loopback adapter?
