It might be helpful to go over the details of exactly what happens when you try to log in. Based on 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 style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
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 style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
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 title="http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" href="http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm" target="_parent">http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm</a></div>

2) If you are on a home network, make sure your router supports NAT Loopback, per the instructions on the Opensim wiki: <a title="http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" href="http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers" target="_parent">http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers</a></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 title="http://opensim-users.2152040.n2.nabble.com/NAT-amp-Corporate-Firewall-td6223654.html" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" href="http://opensim-users.2152040.n2.nabble.com/NAT-amp-Corporate-Firewall-td6223654.html" target="_parent">http://opensim-users.2152040.n2.nabble.com/NAT-amp-Corporate-Firewall-td6223654.html</a></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. I had to do the same thing at work for the university grid, having it placed in the DMZ and assigned an external only static IP.</div>
