Last night I tried to get an old #OpenSim #Dreamgrid installation of mine working. It’s been years, and I suspect router issues.

And all because I wanted something out of an old IAR - maybe I should try logging into an established grid instead of my old localhost.

@Lelani Carver If it has been unused for years, then a lot has happened in #OpenSim and #DreamGrid in those years. OpenSim versions from before 2020 are just barely compatible with what we have around today anymore. Maybe there have been upgrades to your network topology that your DreamGrid isn't adjusted to.

Either way, if you should get it up and running again, you may want to upgrade it so that it won't get even worse the next time you spin it up.

I downloaded and installed the latest #DreamGrid and got that running, logins enabled. It loaded an OAR with some issues but I couldn’t get the viewer (latest Firestorm-OS) to connect. The interface had changed a lot. I never got the WiFi to display for my localhost.

When I checked the #MeWe group, it seems #FerdFrederix has recently deleted his account and his entire group there. The groups I did find were in stages of shock, dismay, and lingering conflict.

All this because I remembered a silly coconut tree that I’d made for an abandoned castaway story I was blogging in 2019… wanted to play with it.

@Lelani Carver To quote Fred from a post by Marianna Monentes on OpenSimWorld:

DreamGrid is not ending. Updates with bug fixes will continue. There
may be a V6 which will have Opensimulator Dot Net 6 code from
Opensimulator.org. Opensim bugs may be reported at
http://opensimulator.org/mantis. Dreamgrid support is available via
http://mantis.outworldz.com.

I don't know what exactly has happened there.

Thank you!! Viele danke! I’m sure that my issue is some trivial router setting or something.

Hoping it all sorts itself out.
