[Opensim-users] Awaiting region handshake

[Guardian]

Hi Gary,

So I should try forwarding 20800 to the opensim server?

Also when I tried setting the externalhostname in regions.ini to the
external address of my network, iI couldn't log on at all, if its set to the
LAN address of the server, I can get up to the region handshake prompt.
