[Opensim-users] Diva Distro - Hitting Walls

[iSkye Silverweb]

He has a Windows XP machine that is running the Diva distro. Here's our
current setup:

We have a standalone Diva distro 0.7.0 on a Windows XP computer in the UK,
with two other computers inside that network; two external computers outside
the UK.  Broadband provider is Sky.

On router (Sagem F at ST 2504 firmware version 2.8Sky):
Port 9000 for TCP/UDP and ports 9001-9003 for UDP

Windows firewall disabled on both computers inside the network

regions.ini file:
external IP is our-grid.dyndns-server.com  (note: when we change the
external IP to the actual internal IP, 192.168.0.9, for the machine running
our grid, our UK guy can log in from inside his network, but the 2 outside
computers can't get past handshake)
internal IP is 0.0.0.0

hosts file on the client the UK guy is trying to login from:
192.168.0.9    our-grid.dyndns-server.com

uPnP and DMZ are both off, disabled (we've tried both ways)
