Just tossing in my two cents. I personally use DynDNS and the Dyn Updater to turn my dynamic IP into a more stable named ip. As long as you don't go offline for an entire month it is free. If you pay a fee it won't expire monthly. It works for me, but I have a D-Link DGL-4500 GamerLounge Xtreme N Gaming Router which includes loopback and 1 gigabyte LAN.<br>
<br>
With this setup my wife on the same network can log on, I can log on and any of my ten test users can as well including my friend from Australia, who has no problem getting on from half way around the world.<br>
<br>
I had to make a few changes to get it to work. On the home network I had to preassign each computer its own local IP to make my local IPs static. I then have my computer running my grid on a local of 192.168.0.198. Then in each ini file I changed the 127.0.0.1 to that ip of 192.168.0.198. I will continue to region ips if you say you're interested...<br>

Trying to be helpfull,<br>

Hi Fleep, thank you for your advice. There does seem to be an issue with my router. I cannot get a static IP address from my ISP hence I used the dynamic IP. I will let you know how I get on. Thanks. Tom<br>

Hi Tom,<br>
<br>
This is a fairly common question that can have a number of different root causes.<br>
<br>
It might be helpful to go over the details of exactly what happens when you try to log in. Based on my understanding and previous posts from Justin, Diva and others, this is my understanding of how it works: When you start up the client and enter your name/password, it sends those details to the OpenSim login service. If your password is correct, it tells the region simulator that you're coming. The login service then sends back to your client the IP address and port to use to enter that region based on the information in the regions.ini configuration file. Your client then connects to the region using those details.<br>
<br>
If you are stuck at "Connecting to Region.." or "Waiting for region handshake..." then your client successfully connected to the Opensim login service, but the information it is using to try to connect to the region (IP address and port number) is not allowing the connection. This can be any number of issues related to your networking setup.<br>
<br>
1) Check to make sure you have the correct ports open on your router and firewall by reviewing the Opensim Network Settings page and Firewall settings page. You can verify this by using 3rd party port checker software, I've used this successfully: <a href="http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm" target="_blank">http://portforward.com/help/<u></u>portcheck.htm</a><br>
<br>
2) If you are on a home network, make sure your router supports NAT Loopback, per the instructions on the Opensim wiki: <a href="http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers" target="_blank">http://opensimulator.org/wiki/<u></u>NAT_Loopback_Routers</a><br>
<br>
3) If you do not have a router that supports NAT Loopback, or are on a corporate or campus network with 1-to-1 NATing, you will need to have an external static IP address assigned to your server for users outside your network to connect. See this thread for more information: <a href="http://opensim-users.2152040.n2.nabble.com/NAT-amp-Corporate-Firewall-td6223654.html" target="_blank">http://opensim-users.2152040.<u></u>n2.nabble.com/NAT-amp-<u></u>Corporate-Firewall-td6223654.<u></u>html</a><br>
<br>
I run FleepGrid from home and since my router didn't support NAT Loopback, I got a static IP address from my ISP and that resolved all my issues with people not being able to connect from outside my home network.<br>
<br>
Hope this info is helpful. Good luck and let us know how it goes!<br>

I am trying to gain external access to my OS standalone server<br>
"Diva". On the internal network all is fine even using my<br>
external url (via dynamic dns). The External login gets as far<br>
as [SCENE]: Region Central authenticated and authorized incoming<br>
root agent XXXXX (circuit code 230241706) (using the rest<br>
console). Firestorm then fails giving the message "Waiting for<br>
region handshake" after a number of attempts.<br>
<br>
The IP address is redirected using dynamic dns, the host machine<br>
has a reserved IP address. Port forwarding for both TCP and UDP<br>
are set to 9000..9004 to this machine is set up. I have the same<br>
problem with an without the firewall on (but forwarding set).<br>
<br>
I am able to access the diva Wifi, webpage and use the rest<br>
console for this machine. ssh works fine.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
p.s. apologies for having sent request on another posting<br>
