[Opensim-users] OpenSim with Hamachi?

[Chris]

Hello everyone! Have a question about using OpenSim with Hamachi (or 
similar personal VPN software).

I have set up a grid mode installation (not Hypergrid) with the relevant 
IP/Hostname settings pointing to the IP address that Hamachi has set up. 
When I try to log into OS from another computer (that is not on the same 
network, and is also using Hamachi), I can see the login attempt in 
ROBUST and the attempt to connect to a region in an OpenSim.exe 
instance... But the log in never completes. I suspect this may have 
something to do with loop back, but I am not sure how to resolve this 
concerning using Hamachi. I can access other resources on the host 
computer just fine (such as network shares) and am able to ping it.

Unfortunately, due to some recent circumstances that I was put in 
lately; I am temporarily staying somewhere else that I do not have 
access to the router to do port forwarding setup and all the other 
necessary things that need to be done normally on the router's side to 
allow other people to gain access to my regions. So I thought that 
Hamachi would be a great way to get by for now to allow a couple of 
people that need access to my regions to be able to log in with me... It 
just isn't working at present.
