[Opensim-users] viewer hanging up at region handshake

Fri Dec 14 13:04:46 UTC 2012

If you have added your external ip in the region.ini file and you cannot 
login local but others can from the internet you have the loopback problem.
btw i would try just you external ip number first instead of dyndns. 
also make sure you have forwarded UDP ports to, not only TCP.
