Unable to login - NAT issue?

Hi, a friend of mine has been trying to get me to try out SecondLife. Finally got my glibc updated so I could run the alpha client. However when I login there seems to be something going on with the connection. Has anyone had any trouble connecting through a DSL modem and router? I tried searching, but the search is rather limited on these forums. ]

I'm not sure what the debugging info. means in context, but it seems to me like it's having trouble receiving packets in here. Log summary as well as applicable part of last_run.log below.

I've never logged in before so I don't know what to expect. :D

Edit: I did set my DI-624 router to accept the ports found here.

Edit: resolved.

Nobody has a clue? Oh well.

I'm running under Windows, behind a NAT router, and have no problem, even connecting from two machines at the same time.

I have no experience with the Linux SL client, but I would guess from the log that the client is trying to do a DNS lookup manually, and having trouble receiving the response. But I don't know why that would be. If your primary DNS server is your router or your own machine, you might try changing it to one of your ISP's DNS servers.

I decoded that packet dump, and it does indeed look like a DNS response for userserver.agni.lindenlab.com. I suspect that it's a deformed response, but I'm not sure about that.

If you ping secondlife.com for 10 seconds or so, do you get any errors?

Ralph, try this: login packetts never rec by login server. It sounds like you might have the same problem. Toodle-oo!

Thank you. Unfortunately I'm not knowledgeable on packet dumps, but this was spot on. Is there a tool that you used to decode? In any case I checked and for some silly reason i hadn't configured /etc/resolv.conf to include nameservers for my dsl provider. This normally shouldn't be an issue if you're connecting directly to a dsl router. However I have the connection running through another router like so:

inet ip <--> 192.168.0.0 <--> 192.168.1.0

Hopefully this will help other people as well.
