[Opensim-users] Configure an OpenSim to use the ROBUST services

Sun Sep 5 12:20:10 UTC 2010

James are you sure you have an allow rule in on both TCP and UDP? You say that there is a NAT rule but is the firewall allow rule also there?

The fault is happening with the client on the outside coming in through the 
router, everything works perfectly inside the router.
So with the client configured to use the external server name 
XXXXXX.dyndns.org i can log into the opensim perfectly from the lan (this 
was tested before adding a local entry in the host file so that i traffic is 
able to go out of the router and come back in) but when a client using 
another adsl line (so an external conenction) tries to access the grid it 
looks like everything is okay until the Waiting for region handshake then it 
times out/fails.

The router i am using is the Draytek Vigor 2820n which is marketed as a SME 
/ Business Class router, is there a list of DD-WRT compliant devices? i had 
a look on DD-WRT.com but their list is very out of date.
