World: r3wp

Group.

Suggestion: ctrl-click on a message equivalent to right-click.  For 
one-button 'mouse' users (ie. Mac)

Last night, for the second time...  When I connected to Altme Reichart's 
name was "none" his color was correct though.  


The first time this happened it was on a different computer and Reichart 
remained "none" for the duration of the install so I had to reinstall. 
 


Altme seems to have corrected itself somehow this time.  Reichart, 
you will be pleased to know that you are no longer "none"

: )

Reichart, I lied.  You're only not "none" in some cases like in this 
group for example, however in the Video Tutorials group all of your 
posts show as being posted by "none"  Someone else in that group 
is also showing as "none"  I'll give you more info on this when I 
get a chance.

ammon, can you see Terry?

Where?

if you can't see him, he's probably the one who is none

I don't see Terry in the Video Tutorials group...

This is not a bug...simply, I left this world, and rejoined...

Ah... That would explain it.  Thanks.

Altme runs under wine 0.9.28 ??

i'm on 0.9.53... but i assume it does

I was running AltME under Wine 2+ years ago and it was working perfectly...

I'm on 0.9.49.

Runs very well.

Interesting.  I tried to run Synapse under Xandros and it crashed.

I might just try pure wine instead.

What's the file size limit in Altme nowadays?

Windows :: Right click, select properties.

Graham what version of Xandros are you using?

it was a version I downloaded late last year.  Expired now I guess.

Ports: Hi, I want to setup AltME in a way that it connects to a local 
port-forwarding proxy which than tunnels the connections.


What local ports does AltME use? And what are the remote IPs / Ports 
I need to use?

robert I think whatever you tried broke safeworld ;^)

it may have been a DNS problem, because I was connected to the r3 
world the whole time and could send messages just fine. of course 
it's no fun if there is no one to respond. :-)

I know ....just razzing

I think 5400 is the main port.

Robert - http://www.altme.com/guide/advanced.html#sect0.7.

Robert, no docs but check  worlds/rebol3/config.txt  and prefs/prefs.txt

If the lookup server dies, then no one can reconnect to a world anywhere. 
 This is how Altme controls access.

Is everyone else able to see their own worlds now? I can see RT worlds, 
but not my own, even one I start locally. The test page on the AltMe 
site says they should be reachable.

I'm still getting  exists but not on-line.

I guess nobody else here is running their own worlds.

I will by trying to start one on Saturday ...

the one world I have been running was no longer activated.  Same 
problem I've always had with AltME.  The world name is not payed 
for so therefore after inactivity would be released to be reused 
by others.  However, it is accessed daily, but still get's released 
every once in a while.  I can now access it after re-registering 
it.

We are tracking these down.

I got it back up. I have shortcuts that use the command line options 
to start the worlds. That doesn't work. I had to go into the UI and 
choose Start a World, then I could see them again.

Just figured it out two minutes ago.

To confirm, you are saying that to start a world, you "had to click 
on"  [Start a World]?

They would start on the server just fine from the shortcut, but I 
couldn't connect to them until I did that.

So everything looked good. Even the AltMe test page said they were 
reachable. But the AltMe client couldn't see them.

I read the docs. But the port 5400-5409 are outgoing ports. So no 
problem to tunnel them. But than AltME gets back via port 5500. But 
AltME directly contacts to my system, not using the tunnel.

I tried to use a SOCKS proxy for dynamic tunneling but AltME doesn't 
seem to have SOCKS support done right or at all.

My understanding is it uses port 5500 to check the world server and 
5400-5409 are dedicated for your world addresses, incoming and outgoing. 
 The AltME client itself simply uses your default internet ports, 
80, 8080.

5400 is incoming port IIRC

5500 is for World lookup - outgoing. 5400 is incoming port, when 
you run your own worlds. 5400 - 5400 is vaguely described. But maybe 
it is because most ISPs don't block outgoing connections at all.

In order to run your own world, you need to DST-NAT (forward) particular 
incoming port to your machine.

Gregg : I run my own world ...I just never log off of that one.

It's not about running my own world. It's about connection to worlds. 
The thing is that this port 5500 seems to be an incoming port. And 
this one is routed wrong.

would be nice to allow opening groups in separate windows.
