Region Handshake failure

[grp44]

I am running a computer lab, and there is going to be a class on virtual worlds that will use 2nd life. Every time I try to connect with a lab computer i get a "region handshake failure" and get disconnected. I tried logging into 2nd life with the same account on our campus wireless network and i connect everytime, but in the lab it fails. I also tried to get the correct certificate by logging into secondlife.com in IE with the Antivirus disabled but it still fails. Can you help please?

Region handshake failure means that there is something blocking the UDP packets coming from the simulator you are trying to connect too.  Sounds like perhaps your lab network has a different security firewall setting than the campus wireless network.
