<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Pete,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> These problems are tough to work
through. I'm curious about what your have specified in your region
parameters for ExternalHostName and what you're putting in the Host entry to
point back to the server. Whatever you could reveal while protecting your
network would help.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> At handshake time the server
hands the viewer an address to use for UDP. The problem could be that
address isn't correct or the port is blocked (or both.) Since you
seem sure the ports are open I'm wondering about the address.</FONT></DIV>
