with OpenSim, if you have a private grid and want registered people to visit, you have to supply grid information (unless you are hypergridded). our very talented Micheil Merlin commented on how to do this, but it’s too good to leave buried in a comment! btw, Micheil is rather passionate about OpenSim and contributed code to the latest version – that is pretty friggin’ cool in my book =)

Here is a link to the wiki page on the GridInfo service. The GridInfo service can be used to enable the ‘Get Grid Info’ button on the Grid Manager fill in the grid information.

And for v0.7, here is an example definition for iliveisl. According to the doc, it would go in StandaloneCommon.ini for standalone grids or Robust.ini for HyperGrids.
