Hi Emperor, The key thing to note is that Opensim resolves the DNS of your region server locally, no matter what IP/hostname address is configured in your regions.ini file. The thread I linked goes into great detail about why that is: http://opensim-users.2152040.n2.nabble.com/NAT-amp-Corporate-Firewall-td6223654.html
In the case of my home network, I followed all of the troubleshooting steps, too, did everything you have done, and it still just would not work until I ponied up to pay my ISP for a static IP address that I could use for both internal and external connections. That resolved all my problems. If you are 100% sure that the NAT loopback is working, 100% sure that you've checked that UDP packets are getting through (with the portforward.com tool), and 100% sure that your firewall and virus protection software aren't blocking things, then that would be my recommendation - get a static IP address from your ISP. The networking piece is the single hardest part of setting up an Opensim grid. Once you solve this problem, everything else will seem like a cakewalk in comparison.
