[Opensim-users] Awaiting region handshake

Mon Aug 15 06:05:54 UTC 2011

Hmmmm, OK.. that sounds logical. How do I get around this? Without buying a
new router as there would be no way of knowing if it supports loop back
until its in and running.

viewer [192.168.1.251 + the port of the region] as the address to use for
the UDP handshake. That will fail from outside your lan.

myusername.dyndns.org:9000 to get the hippo page is some key info. Now I'm
still wondering what you're doing in the hosts file. If your dyndns is set
up to point to your external IP you shouldn't need to modify it using hosts.
