[Opensim-users] Help with Hypergrid TP's please.

[Gary Beck]

Allex,
   I have a similar situation.  Perhaps I can add some clues.
   I read somewhere (& can no longer find) an explanation of the 
approach used to validate incoming hypergrid viewer connections. The 
main idea was that the incoming viewer IP address should match the home 
grids stored IP address for that viewer.  For users external to the home 
grid LAN this would be the external IP address.  Users residing on the 
home grid LAN typically have some local LAN IP address stored rather 
than the external IP address. The design is to handle this as an 
acceptable exception as long as the stored viewer IP at the home grid 
matches the home grid IP address.
   I'm running OpenSim 0.7.6 as a stand alone hypergrid.  I have two PCs 
in my local LAN.  If I run a viewer on the server PC I am able to jump 
out to other grids.  However I can't teleport home.  If I run a viewer 
on the non-server PC I can again jump out to other grids.  In this case 
I can teleport home.
   There are message in my OpenSim log which I think show the values 
being compared.  If you can find these if might make clear what is 
happening.  I'll paste what I see for the two cases I've described.

When logged on local to the server PC:

Outgoing:
[USER AGENT SERVICE]: Comparing 71.89.173.18 with login IP 127.0.0.1 and 
MyIP 127.0.0.1; result is true
Returning:
[USER AGENT SERVICE]: Comparing 192.168.1.1 with login IP 127.0.0.1 and 
MyIP 127.0.0.1; result is false

When logged on local to a non-server PC:

Outgoing:
[USER AGENT SERVICE]: Comparing 71.89.173.18 with login IP 192.168.1.1 
and MyIP 192.168.1.1; result is true
Returning:
[USER AGENT SERVICE]: Comparing 192.168.1.1 with login IP 192.168.1.1 
and MyIP 192.168.1.1; result is true


I hope that's of some help.
