Anna,<br><br>Thanks. I'll try this out tomorrow.<br><br>I have another question for you.<br>I was testing the server with about 12 XOs today. They all connected fine and had internet connections. But the performance seemed slow. It took several seconds for pages to load at times.<br>
Also, when I tried to have shared Activities (I opened a chat session, for example), the performance was horribly slow, and not every computer could connect.<br>Do you have any ideas about why this might be happening and how to make it better?<br>
<br>Thanks.<br><font color="#888888">Gerald</font><div><div></div><br></div></blockquote><div><br>The slow page load in either Firefox or Browse is usually helped quite a bit by disabling ipv6. In a (recent) Browse activity or Firefox, enter about:config in the address bar. Type ipv6 in the filter bar. The Preference Name you're looking for is "network.dns.disableIPv6." Double click it to set the value to true. That usually helps page load speed quite a bit.<br>
<br>If activities seems really slow when they're shared over the XS versus the XO-1 mesh, I don't know what that might be other than the throughput of your AP. If you suspect your XS setup, you can always connect to my test XS 0.6 running a "semi-public" Jabber to see if there's a difference. In fact, we've just been testing joining the XO Chat activity with regular XMPP clients like Pidgin and Gajim. Send me a private email if you'd like the URL. And that goes for anyone who's interested, not just Gerald.<br>
