[Opensim-users] Region handshake does not complete

[Nicky Perian]

Thank you for the reply.
I have a cisco e4200. It has settings for port forward, triggering, DMZ, and a means to place a gaming app at a specific priority.

But,it has no mention of NAT loop back. I assume that NAT loop back is just another name for one of the other port handling features mentioned above.

I have searched google and not found how to set NAT loop back. Actually, about the only mention to pop up is OS wiki.

How is NAT loop back set up for any cisco router?

Thanks,

Nicky

>At handshake time the opensim server sends the 
viewer the resolved IP address of the region being connected to.  I'm 
assuming that would be your dyndns domain name + a port number.  However 
the server send the resolved address, not the domain name.  So the viewer 
will be getting the external IP + port number.  This can work if you local 
network router has NAT loopback enabled.  If not the viewer attempts to use 
the address and doesn't reach the server.  The host file settings would be 
effective if at handshake time the server sent domain names to be resolved but 
it doesn't.
