[Opensim-users] Region handshake does not complete

[Nicky Perian]

e4200 settings that work for me.

each hosts file 
192.168.x.x my.dyndns.domain

These might not be the best. I rely on each computer to be firewall protected and leave the routers open to prevent firewall fighting.

Thank you for the responses.

>The CISCO 'NAT loop back' item is 'Filter Internet 
NAT Redirection.'   I'm not at my usual location so I can't check 
how it's set on my e3200.  I think un-checking that option (the 
default) allows the redirection of your external IP back to your 
local LAN.  It's one of the firewall settings.

>>>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.
>>>Hope this helps.
