standalone ports</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Hello all,<BR><BR>I have installed and configured the OpenSim
standalone server on a separate server. It is a highly secure where only
certain TCP are open.<BR><BR>Now, I assumed since OpenSim listens on the
default UDP/TCP 9000 port, I only have to open that port, but I still have
problems connecting to it.<BR><BR>Are there any ports that need to be
opened in order for me to successfully connect it via the
viewer?<BR></DIV>
