[Opensim-users] viewer hanging up at region handshake

Fri Dec 14 14:23:36 UTC 2012

I currently have the Internal IP Address in the regions ini files set to
0.0.0.0 this seems to resolve back to the systemip of the machine itself
i.e. 127.0.0.1 (For windows I don't remember what it is for linux) 

Also the router is the Linksys WRT54G so if I were to change the External IP
to the IP address given by the isp is that likely to work?

And as Justin indicated and in doing a little research the opensim wiki
indicates that FDQN doesn't work in terms of NAT Loopback for people
connecting from inside the local network but would for those connecting from
outside the network.  I had tested this and even that doesn't work.

I will test the suggestion of the InternalIP of 192.168.1.50 see if that
works.

Thanks for the information.  

I've tried the following:

1.       I ensured that NAT Loopback is set accordingly.

2.       I've given the machine a static IP within my network.

3.       I've experimented with changing the External IP Address from a
numeric IP such as 192.168.1.xx to a domain name such as example.dyndns.org.

4.       I've moved the machine's static IP to the DMZ as I had seen
suggested in a forum post (forget the forum.)

5.       I've double checked to be sure the firewall isn't blocking the
ports ( I even tried this with firewall turned off).

6.       I've successfully logged into the region via another pc on my
network using multiple different viewers so it is clearly something not
resolving the ip for viewers externally.

These steps are all producing the same result.

Is there a file that perhaps I can look at i.e. viewer log, etc that might
shed light on this as well?

Thanks.

Have you tried changing your external IP to the numeric external IP?  I hear
there are problems with using FQDNs in ExternalHostNames though I keep
forgetting the details.

As for the viewer log, that's a good point.  In a sample connection I have

2012-12-14T00:38:57Z INFO: addCircuitData: LLCircuit::addCircuitData for
192.168.1.7

as the first entry for the simulator's ip address, though I don't know if
that's only printed out on a successful circuit established with the
simulator or not.
