<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm still struggling with my standalone OpenSim and NAT.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">As long as I put the external IP address in the regions file everything works fine and I can access the region.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">As soon as I put in the host name (DNS entries exist) in the region file, the client starts up normally, but</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">stops at the 'region handshake' and tells me after the timeout unable to connect …</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Within Wireshark I can see a lot of packets going back and forth until the region handshake starts.</FONT>
