Thanks a lot Mikko... I ll check it out today(when I solve my compilation problems :D)
I had the server and the client downloaded from http://www.realxtend.org/page.php?pg=downloads And one more question... I know I asked a lot already ;) Do you know what may generate a "18:41:49 - [AUTHENTICATION SERVICE]: Failed creating XmlRpcRequest" message? Having tried a dozen of methods to fix it I still have doubts about the location of the problem. I cant decide whether if it is OpenSim server which causes this error or it is Authentication server. Because that message states that it is OpenSim server which fails at creating an XmlRpcRequest message am I right? What may cause this message? Is it Authentication server returning an invalid response or an internal failure at OpenSim Server(auth server works correct for instance)... I have searched for the text "Failed Creating XmlRpcRequest" or its variations in opensim code but couldnt find a reference :(.
