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

You might find this interesting, I emailed the guys at dd-wrt.com and they
replied that "dd-wrt does not support any adsl-hardware." You I guess you
would have to use a separate modem and router for this.

If your client and server are on the same side of the router, then you must
have loopback enabled on the router.  Check to be sure your router is on the
"approved" list since opensim does something very funky in its
communications.

I had my router set up with loopback and had the manufacturer verify that
loopback was enabled and that rules were being created.  Everything was as
it should be, however, opensim still did not work.  I finally purchased a
Linksys router that runs DD-WRT.  I needed a router that provides many more
services than a consumer router provides and DD-WRT does most.

I hope that this eventually this gets fixed in opensim since other
client/server applications work fine without needing "special" routers.
Until then, getting a router on the approved list is the only way.

 just a little update:

have now tried adding the external IP address as the InternalAddress in the
region.ini as suggested by Ben and have added the entry in the host file,
still getting up to the "Waiting for region handshake..." then the usual
"we're having trouble connecting, there may be a problem with your internet"

error in the emerald client but i have also tried metabolt (text client) and
i get "avatar did not rezz as expected".

now the opensim server is running from my friends ADSL line with a 512mb
upload speed in theory i should still be able to connect and the avatar
should rezz (maybe slowly) or is the upload too small to support a
connection?

Thanks
James
