[Opensim-users] Awaiting region handshake

[Fleep Tuque]

Hi Pete,

When I had similar symptoms, it turned out my virus protection software was
blocking UDP traffic.  Usually it seems if you get as far as "waiting for
region handshake", then your TCP traffic is ok but there's an issue with the
UDP traffic somewhere.

If you have security software running, maybe try disabling it and seeing if
that changes anything, can also install a packet sniffer like Wireshark to
see what packets are coming and going in case that helps diagnose the issue.
 Can also double check to make sure the proper ports are open with a 3rd
party..

Let us know if any of  that helps and good luck!
