Hi Don.  The client is doing its initial login connection correctly to port 9000.  On successful authentication, OpenSim passes back login hostname and port for a particular region back to the client, which then establishes a separate connection.

The regions details are kept in the .ini files in bin/Regions.  The ExternalHostName value is the host address passed back to the client so this is the one to check.

Best,
