New problem: Network card disconnect whenever I play SL

I am behind a DI-604 router that sometimes does the same thing when I either download gigs of information, visit wizards.com/magic (for some reason), and rarely "just because". I was able to play SL for three monthes without a problem, but now I am re-experiencing the same disconnect problem.

When I log in (which I do successfully) and on the second bar that tells you "downloading inventory", I get in the game but I am unable to move. I look at the stat window and it shows packets going out but nil coming in.

I have tried two on-board ethernet connections (nForce2 board: one is Nvidia's own and the other is 3com) and a Realtek ethernet card.

Drivers updated.

I think I am going to reinstall SL.

I had the same problem twice, but was able to fix it by doing the following:

Under your profile in Windows XP, there is an applications data folder. It is a hidden folder, so you need to make sure you can view hidden files and folders.

There will be a Second Life folder in the applications data folder. Delete the entire Second Life folder in the applications data folder. Then restart Second Life. That should fix your problem.

Gibson, reply and let me know if this worked for you, if not I can offer other suggestions that may fix the problem. Let me know though, cause I don't wanna type a novel if you don't need it.

No, it did not work. I am going to try installing it on another computer to see if it is the network and not the computer.
