"Hairpinning" Public Safety Annoucement and a small favor to ask of home Opensimulator server owners.

If you added a MAC address to a ban list, you may ban yourself, or ban all uses from any grid that uses a Loopback adapter for hairpinning. The problem is all Loopback adapters use the same MAC address. There is a different one for each type, such as WIndows, Mac and Linux.

Opensimulator servers require routers with working hairpinning so the server can find itself at the WAN's public IP. Loopback adapters are sometimes necessary at the server because not all home routers support hairpinning, a.k.a. Loopback. Only the the server can log in to itself, when the server has a loopback adapter. Others on thje same LAN can use a VPN, which moves the network endpoint outside the LAN, and onto the WAN.

Also, a lot of people think Loopback is needed for the Hypergrid. It's not. It only so the server can see itself at the external WAN IP.

I help maintain a list at http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers of compatible and incompatible routers. Please, do us all a huge favor, and if your router for your home server is not listed, please comment the brand, model number and whether loopback works or not, and I will add it.

Thank you!

Thank you everyone for coming out and giving golfing a try, with your help I have been fine tuning HUDS daily so before you golf it is a good idea to grab the contents of the golf bag in the Club House to stay Current. Thank you for coming out it is nice to see when you score. Remember to always wear your Scoring and Golf HUD both are needed in the game. Also wear your golf club and face the direction you want the ball to go then type in local chat the speed of ball, for most holes I type 1.9 then face hole, swing!
