<DIV>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><BR><SPAN

<DIV>Hi Tom,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>This is a fairly common question that can have a number of different
root causes. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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.
</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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">http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm</A></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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">http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers</A></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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">http://opensim-users.2152040.n2.nabble.com/NAT-amp-Corporate-Firewall-td6223654.html</A></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hope this info is helpful. Good luck and let us know how it
goes!</DIV>

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