What I have learned is that if you are behind a router that takes the internet IP to itself, gives LAN IPs (192.168.0.x) to machines connected to it, it is very hard to show your opensim to the outside world.OpenSim basically demands (afaik) that you have the internet IP assigned to the specific machine you are running the server on. Or you need to have advanced router with "nat loopback" whatever that is or know how to setup DNS forwards correctly. Just passing all incoming traffic to certain ports into one of the machines in the router is not possibly enough. I think opensim might still digg wrong return IPs that it passes back and will make the login fail at some point.
Read more here http://www.adamfrisby.com/blog/2009/08/opensim-on-osgrid-a-howto/ its osgrid related but I think it also applies to "normally" run servers. If someone on this mailing list knows how to get a working opensim server that doesent have the internet IP directly but is under a LAN IP to work from outside your LAN, I for one would be very interested. Have been trying to put test server realXtend Taiga at home (and at work) up for quite a while. We got one showing to outside world up at work with some DNS magic but it was not a permanent solution because with this "hack" we could not access the server from LAN, and that's not very optimal when running a test server.
