Just tossing in my two cents. I personally use DynDNS and the Dyn
Updater to turn my dynamic IP into a more stable named ip. As long as
you don't go offline for an entire month it is free. If you pay a fee
it won't expire monthly. It works for me, but I have a D-Link DGL-4500
GamerLounge Xtreme N Gaming Router which includes loopback and 1
gigabyte LAN.
With this setup my wife on the same network can log on, I can log on and
any of my ten test users can as well including my friend from Australia,
who has no problem getting on from half way around the world.
I had to make a few changes to get it to work. On the home network I
had to preassign each computer its own local IP to make my local IPs
static. I then have my computer running my grid on a local of
192.168.0.198. Then in each ini file I changed the 127.0.0.1 to that ip
of 192.168.0.198. I will continue to region ips if you say you're
interested...
Trying to be helpfull,
InuYasha.

Hi Fleep, thank you for your advice. There does seem to be an issue
with my router. I cannot get a static IP address from my ISP hence I
used the dynamic IP. I will let you know how I get on. Thanks. Tom

Hi Tom,
This is a fairly common question that can have a number of different
root causes.
It might be helpful to go over the details of exactly what happens
when you try to log in. Based on my understanding and 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.
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.
1) 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:
http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm
2) If you are on a home network, make sure your router supports NAT
Loopback, per the instructions on the Opensim wiki:
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers
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:
http://opensim-users.2152040.n2.nabble.com/NAT-amp-Corporate-Firewall-td6223654.html
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.
Hope this info is helpful. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I am trying to gain external access to my OS standalone server
"Diva". On the internal network all is fine even using my
external url (via dynamic dns). The External login gets as far
as [SCENE]: Region Central authenticated and authorized incoming
root agent XXXXX (circuit code 230241706) (using the rest
console). Firestorm then fails giving the message "Waiting for
region handshake" after a number of attempts.
The IP address is redirected using dynamic dns, the host machine
has a reserved IP address. Port forwarding for both TCP and UDP
are set to 9000..9004 to this machine is set up. I have the same
problem with an without the firewall on (but forwarding set).
I am able to access the diva Wifi, webpage and use the rest
console for this machine. ssh works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks
p.s. apologies for having sent request on another posting
