The fault is happening with the client on the outside coming in through the
router, everything works perfectly inside the router.
So with the client configured to use the external server name
XXXXXX.dyndns.org i can log into the opensim perfectly from the lan (this
was tested before adding a local entry in the host file so that i traffic is
able to go out of the router and come back in) but when a client using
another adsl line (so an external conenction) tries to access the grid it
looks like everything is okay until the Waiting for region handshake then it
times out/fails.
The router i am using is the Draytek Vigor 2820n which is marketed as a SME
/ Business Class router, is there a list of DD-WRT compliant devices? i had
a look on DD-WRT.com but their list is very out of date.

If your client and server are on the same side of the router, then you
must
have loopback enabled on the router. Check to be sure your router is on
the
"approved" list since opensim does something very funky in its
communications.
I had my router set up with loopback and had the manufacturer verify that
loopback was enabled and that rules were being created. Everything was as
it should be, however, opensim still did not work. I finally purchased a
Linksys router that runs DD-WRT. I needed a router that provides many
more
services than a consumer router provides and DD-WRT does most.
I hope that this eventually this gets fixed in opensim since other
client/server applications work fine without needing "special" routers.
Until then, getting a router on the approved list is the only way.

just a little update:
have now tried adding the external IP address as the InternalAddress in
the
region.ini as suggested by Ben and have added the entry in the host file,
still getting up to the "Waiting for region handshake..." then the usual
"we're having trouble connecting, there may be a problem with your
internet"
error in the emerald client but i have also tried metabolt (text client)
and
i get "avatar did not rezz as expected".
now the opensim server is running from my friends ADSL line with a 512mb
upload speed in theory i should still be able to connect and the avatar
should rezz (maybe slowly) or is the upload too small to support a
connection?
Thanks
James

Hi Folks
My friend and I are working on setting up Opensim in grid mode
(robust), so everything seems to be working okay when accessed the
grid from the lan using -loginuri http://XXXXXX.dyndns.org:8002 for
the login url but when I try to access the grid from an external location
it hanging :
[14:11] Logging in. Viewer may appear frozen. Please wait.
[14:11] Logging in...
[14:11] Processing Response...
[14:11] Initializing World...
[14:11] Initializing multimedia...
[14:11] Decoding images...
[14:11] Waiting for region handshake...
[14:11] MOTD: United we stand, divided we fall.
with a message that there was a problem while trying to connect.
Ports 9000-9010 tcp and udp are open on both router and xp firewall,
so my next line of thought was the region.ini there is no mention
(that i can find) that says you can't still using the 9000 range in
the region.ini when in grid mode, here is an example of the
region.ini, do you have to specify an InternalAddress if your going to
access the grid from an external network
[Europe 1]
RegionUUID = "397fd0f8-4279-48d6-8ce2-573d915630dd"
Location = "4168,4665"
InternalAddress = "0.0.0.0"
InternalPort = 9000
AllowAlternatePorts = False
ExternalHostName = "XXXXXX.dyndns.org"
Thanks in advance for the help.
James
