Certainly - the very beginning is a very good place to start.

Only one instance of OS/D2 is being run at any time, just using defaults 
(which are in range).

Have done this, and they are (for both OS & D2). Further, with the D2 
install there is only one region (The OS install has 4).

Done this, and they are. (Though again D2 only has one region.)

Have double-checked, and it is in D2. In OS I left them at the default 
setting of 127.0.0.1. Have now tested with that changed to 0.0.0.0 in 
all regions, with the same results as previously.

Have just been using the default of SYSTEMIP, which of course has always 
worked in the past - I've never bothered opening it beyond the local 
network.

Both installs are almost pure default settings for standalone. In
regular OpenSim, the only changes that have been made:

StandalondCommon.ini
-------
[DatabaseService]
; MySql
     StorageProvider = "OpenSim.Data.MySQL.dll"
     ConnectionString = "Data Source=localhost;Database=opensimdb;User
ID=opensim;Password=123;Old Guids=true;"

Regions.ini
-------
[Dreamtime]
RegionUUID = "11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555"
Location = "1000,1000"
InternalAddress = "127.0.0.1"
InternalPort = 9000
AllowAlternatePorts = False
ExternalHostName = "SYSTEMIP"

[NW]
RegionUUID = "11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555556"
Location = "1000,1001"
InternalAddress = "127.0.0.1"
InternalPort = 9001
AllowAlternatePorts = False
ExternalHostName = "SYSTEMIP"

[SE]
RegionUUID = "11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555557"
Location = "1001,1000"
InternalAddress = "127.0.0.1"
InternalPort = 9002
AllowAlternatePorts = False
ExternalHostName = "SYSTEMIP"

[NE]
RegionUUID = "11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555558"
Location = "1001,1001"
InternalAddress = "127.0.0.1"
InternalPort = 9003
AllowAlternatePorts = False
ExternalHostName = "SYSTEMIP"

With the Diva Distro, the only changes that have been made (besides
changing the region name on Regions.ini):

MyWorld.ini
-------
[DatabaseService]
     ; ### Set the password (again)
     ConnectionString = "Data Source=localhost;Database=opensimdiva;User
ID=opensim;Password=123;Old Guids=true;Allow Zero Datetime=true;"

So after going through this it occurs to me that the issue may possibly
be somewhere in my database settings? OS & D2 use separate databases of
course, but the same user (with global privileges). (running this
locally on XAMPP using PHPmyAdmin for creating database/user)
