<DIV>I have been following this subject step by step and silently testing the
things as suggested. I have this same problem “ Awaiting region handshake” and
didn't want to break the </DIV>
<DIV>sequence since I realized that each case is a case in this subject. I tried
many of the suggestions here and still having the problem.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have installed Diva D2 distribution working fine from the computers in my
Local network even with 127.0.0.1 and domain name:9000.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My friends can't login from remote. Using imprudence, they are able to get
grid info and also sign up for an account.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, I am listing below some info that you guys should ask to understand
better my case:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1- OS = Windows Vista</DIV>
<DIV>2- Using Diva Distro r-15592 distribution</DIV>
<DIV>3- The installation followed the txt files provided and also the slides
from Michael_Brade</DIV>
<DIV>4- MySql is runing well</DIV>
<DIV>5- Windows Firewall: the ports 9000-9003 are open inbound and outbound, TCP
and UDP. The grid was tested with firewall on and off.</DIV>
<DIV>6- Router: Forwarded to inbound and outbound, 9000-9003, TCP and UDP, using
the internal IP 192.168.x.x. Also tested with port 9000 only to TCP and </DIV>
<DIV>9000-9003 to UDP, due the some instructions from opensimulator tuto.</DIV>
<DIV>7- I got dyndns domain name to use when run configure.exe</DIV>
<DIV>8- NAT issue: A line was inserted to the file hosts.
internal IP 192.168.x.x SPACE domain name</DIV>
<DIV>9- The file divaPreferences.ini is intact</DIV>
<DIV>10- The file MyWord.ini show “http://dyndnsdomainname:9000” for all</DIV>
<DIV>11- The file RegionConfig.ini shows</DIV>
<DIV>InternalAddress = "0.0.0.0" </DIV>
<DIV>InternalPort = "9000" </DIV>
<DIV>ExternalHostName = "dyndnsdomain name" </DIV>
<DIV>(it was the internal IP address. I changed by the logic to domain
name. It was before the Internal IP like 192.168.x.x) Anyway I tried both </DIV>
<DIV>with no success.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am sorry about so long email.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am on this problem about a mounth. But I realized I learned a lot about
Opensim. I hope soon I can contribute with the community.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please, I need help. Say what I have to fix or to do in order to make
people connect to my grid.</DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
