Ok, I am getting the despite our best efforts error.
Here is what I did:

Did that, am using the precompiled version though. Here is how it looks:
Code:
<Root>
<Config sim_UUID="5ce78782-3dc8-44c0-bcdc-3e79b15b7eeb" sim_name="OpenSim Test" sim_location_x="1000" sim_location_y="1000" internal_ip_address="0.0.0.0" internal_ip_port="9000" allow_alternate_ports="false" external_host_name="192.168.1.2" master_avatar_uuid="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" estate_covanant_uuid="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" master_avatar_first="Mac" master_avatar_last="Angelus" master_avatar_pass="Pass removed of course :D" />
</Root>

Click the Support tab and your LAN IP is right under Address Type. It usually starts with 192.168, on mine it's 192.168.1.200 |
Did that, mine was 192.168.1.2 which is how I entered it (Opened the default.xml file with notepad) as shown above.

This part confused me. After I entered the default.xml file and saved it, I used the login icon (didn't ask for a IPaddress, just logged on the Dos window) Then started the OpenSimViewer with the shortcut and got the error message.
I think it is that last part I quoted by you, Joshua that may have a step I missed. I am part of the OpenSims for dummies group.
