<div><font face="Arial"> The values in
standaloinecommon.ini may need changing to support other things. Waiting
for region handshake is caused by the regions.ini setting as mentioned by
Fleep Tuque. The ExternalHostName is resolved by the server to an
address. The server passes that address along with the port number
(InternalPort) to the viewer. If the address passed is a local LAN
address rather than your external IP address then you will stall 'waiting for
region handshake' when logging in from outside the LAN. Hope that
helps.</font></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">

<div style="FONT-FAMILY:arial,sans-serif;COLOR:rgb(34,34,34);FONT-SIZE:13px">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="FONT-FAMILY:arial,sans-serif;COLOR:rgb(34,34,34);FONT-SIZE:13px"><br></div>
<div style="FONT-FAMILY:arial,sans-serif;COLOR:rgb(34,34,34);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>

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 style="COLOR:rgb(17,85,204)" href="http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm" target="_blank">http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm</a></div>

<div style="FONT-FAMILY:arial,sans-serif;COLOR:rgb(34,34,34);FONT-SIZE:13px">2)
If you are on a home network, make sure your router supports NAT
Loopback, per the instructions on the Opensim wiki: <a style="COLOR:rgb(17,85,204)" href="http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers" target="_blank">http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers</a></div>

<div style="FONT-FAMILY:arial,sans-serif;COLOR:rgb(34,34,34);FONT-SIZE:13px">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 style="COLOR:rgb(17,85,204)" href="http://opensim-users.2152040.n2.nabble.com/NAT-amp-Corporate-Firewall-td6223654.html" target="_blank">http://opensim-users.2152040.n2.nabble.com/NAT-amp-Corporate-Firewall-td6223654.html</a></div>

<div style="FONT-FAMILY:arial,sans-serif;COLOR:rgb(34,34,34);FONT-SIZE:13px">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>

<div dir="ltr">Hi
<div>I'm hosting a standalone OpenSim 0.7.5 at home, on Ubuntu 11.10
64bit.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I need/want it for school, and when I try and connect from school I
get a "Waiting for Region Handshake" error when trying to connect with
Imprudence viewer.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I believe I've ascertained the school firewall is open - I
used <a href="http://124.254.81.40:9000/simstatus" target="_blank">http://124.254.81.40:9000/simstatus</a> and got the
required OK.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>My router is a Billion Bipac 7300A. In reading OpenSim documentation,
I only found at last week I need reverse NAT (or something to that
effect). I had never seen it in any system requirements. After checking
the web, I believe the router does support it.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I can connect fine from my LAN.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I'd appreciate ANY advice I can get to have it up and running. I'd
dearly love to have it working ASAP - after a long wait to have the port
open at school. I'm now behind the 8ball timewise.<span><font color="#888888"><br clear="all">
