<DIV>Keep in mind this is only going to work for that one PC you add the windows
loopback adapter to. For instance, if you happen to have a another
computer on your network that you try to connect to the server you are running
on your primary computer, it will have the same problem you are having
now. You have the loopback function taking place at the point you connect
to your local network so other computers on your local network know nothing at
all about it and depend on the router to do loopback, which it can’t.
However this other computer will work just fine out on the global opensim
worlds because it does not need loopback to work with servers that are not
on your local network.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks so much Fred, your explanation was exactly what I needed to
configure the Windows Loopback Adapter. I will remove the line in the Hosts file
and configure the Adapter and see if that helps me. <BR><BR></DIV>A question. Do
I need to do anything to the Etherneth connection? I mean right now I had
configured it so that this PC got a static internal IP 192.168.2.10. Do I leave
it alone and do nothing to it and just configure the windows loopback
adapter?<BR></DIV>

would not use the Hosts file 'trick' on a server that also has the
viewer. The fact that you need to edit hosts file indicates that the
router cannot loopback. I use the Microsoft Loopback
Adapter.<BR><BR>What happens is that the server broadcasts your public DNS
name to clients not as a name, but as an address. The server
first does a DNS lookup and via hosts, finds the 127.0.0.1
loopback. It will broadcast this 127.0.0.1 address to a
remote WAN client, and they cannot connect. Yet it works for
you. But without loopback, you cannot connect.<BR><BR>On
Windows, you can add a software loopback adapter for the Public Port to
loopback the public IP to the server, which allows the server to send the
public IP to clients.<BR><BR>Installation instructions: <A

it is installed you have to set it up. It will be in the Control
Panel->Network Connections, as "NAT Loopback". Its just like an
Ethernet driver. Open it, and find Internet Protocol Version 4
(TCP/IPv4) and change its properties. I click "Use the following IP
address" and enter my PUBLIC IP in the IP Address box. No Gateway
is needed. Under DNS, I used my routers IP address so it can do the DNS
lookups. Or you can use Googles super DNS of 8.8.8.8. and
8.8.4.4<BR><BR>Once enabled, this will make any reference to the Public IP
address route right back to the system itself, just as the router should
do. And WAN users get the correct Public IP sent to them,
instead of 127.0.0.1<BR><BR><BR>Ferd Frederix<BR><A
