[Opensim-users] Awaiting region handshake

[Gary Banham]

I would try

I just found a setting in my lan that forward all the ports and put the lan
ip directly on the internet

also in you region set it to systemip(i think this is the default)

 

I think that may work

otherwise set it to you lan ip

not the 192.168 ip but the ip you lan is on for the internet also

i set up a lan bridge for 1 ip to connect directly to the internet

you can try that

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.
