[Opensim-users] Awaiting region handshake

[Guardian]

The replacement router also does not support PPPoA!!!! I think I've done all
I can with this, Opensim just doesnt work in New Zealand, We dont have the
hardware for it.

used by the server to pass an IP address to the viewer. For external viewers
the address needs to be your the external IP address of your server, not the
internal IP address. Due to your #8 your server will pass your internal IP
address to the external viewer at handshake time. That will cause the
'Awaiting region handshake' timeout.
> Things that you can do that should allow your external users to complete
region handshake: (1) Removing the host file entry. (2) Revise the host file
entry to be the external IP address. (3) Use the actual external IP address
for your region ExternalHoseName value.
> The server passes an IP address, not a domain name, to set up the UDP
communication (region handshake.) That isn't always apparent in the
documentation. It looks like a Hosts file entry will provide the ability to
use both an internal and external IP address at the same time. Unfortunately
it's not really a solution and causes problems.
