Dmitre,
The value you use for ExternalHostName in your region parameters will be
used by the server to pass an IP address to the viewer. For external viewers
the address needs to be your the external IP address of your server, not the
internal IP address. Due to your #8 your server will pass your internal IP
address to the external viewer at handshake time. That will cause the
'Awaiting region handshake' timeout.
Things that you can do that should allow your external users to complete
region handshake: (1) Removing the host file entry. (2) Revise the host file
entry to be the external IP address. (3) Use the actual external IP address for
your region ExternalHoseName value.
The server passes an IP address, not a domain name, to set up the UDP
communication (region handshake.) That isn't always apparent in the
documentation. It looks like a Hosts file entry will provide the ability to
use both an internal and external IP address at the same time. Unfortunately
it's not really a solution and causes problems.
Good luck with your further testing.

Subject: [Opensim-users] Awaiting region handshake
I have been following this subject step by step and silently testing the
things as suggested. I have this same problem “ Awaiting region handshake” and
didn't want to break the
sequence since I realized that each case is a case in this subject. I tried
many of the suggestions here and still having the problem.
I have installed Diva D2 distribution working fine from the computers in my
Local network even with 127.0.0.1 and domain name:9000.
My friends can't login from remote. Using imprudence, they are able to get
grid info and also sign up for an account.
So, I am listing below some info that you guys should ask to understand
better my case:
1- OS = Windows Vista
2- Using Diva Distro r-15592 distribution
3- The installation followed the txt files provided and also the slides from
Michael_Brade
4- MySql is runing well
5- Windows Firewall: the ports 9000-9003 are open inbound and outbound, TCP
and UDP. The grid was tested with firewall on and off.
6- Router: Forwarded to inbound and outbound, 9000-9003, TCP and UDP, using
the internal IP 192.168.x.x. Also tested with port 9000 only to TCP and
9000-9003 to UDP, due the some instructions from opensimulator tuto.
7- I got dyndns domain name to use when run configure.exe
8- NAT issue: A line was inserted to the file hosts. internal IP
192.168.x.x SPACE domain name
9- The file divaPreferences.ini is intact
10- The file MyWord.ini show “http://dyndnsdomainname:9000” for all
11- The file RegionConfig.ini shows
InternalAddress = "0.0.0.0"
InternalPort = "9000"
ExternalHostName = "dyndnsdomain name"
(it was the internal IP address. I changed by the logic to domain name. It
was before the Internal IP like 192.168.x.x) Anyway I tried both
with no success.
I am sorry about so long email.
I am on this problem about a mounth. But I realized I learned a lot about
Opensim. I hope soon I can contribute with the community.
Please, I need help. Say what I have to fix or to do in order to make people
connect to my grid.
