If you don't require LAN access then NAT Loopback isn't needed. ----- Original Message ----- From: Guardian To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2011 7:43 PM Subject: Re: [Opensim-users] Awaiting region handshake
Hi again all, I'm really struggling to find a router in NZ that supports NAT Loopback... I spent over an hour with Linksys and they pretty much said none of their routers support it apart from the E2000 which can't be connected to any NZ ISP's... I was just looking at the opensim wiki again, and notice it now says: "This is an issue since each region has to be specify an IP address for the client to connect. This is the ExternalHostName parameter in a regions config file (e.g. bin/Regions/Regions.ini). In the absence of NAT loopback, if a forward facing IP address is specified (such as 199.149.252.44) then external clients will be able to connect to the region but clients on your local network will not. If the internal address were put in ExternalHostName instead (e.g. 192.168.2.40) then viewers on the local network will be able to connect but viewers from an external network would not." My Issue was I couldnt connect to the sim from outside even when the external IP address was specified in regions. I don't need to connect to the sim from the LAN, only the WAN so is NAT loopback still an issue?
