Are you logged out on teleports?

For some time now I have had tp issues ~ I would try and get to a new LM and SL seemed to decide weather I could get there or not. What would happen is I would teleport and the screen would go black and start to load a progress bar it would say "Contacting new region" and then just sit there till eventually it would crash and give me a gray screen saying "view IM and Chat or quit" if I cancelled before the end I had about 20 seconds before I would also crash and teleports would all be blocked. I just used to avoid these places until the other day this happened ofter lindens updated and restarted my home sim I could no longer go there. Man I was so p**sed off and with none of the normal solutions helping I did some research. The solution is as follows

The reason it seems it will not connect is updated DNS server protocols that my ADSL Router although only 6 months old only partially supports. To fix this you have 2 options

1 - Replace your ADSL router modem with a different brand

2 - Upgrade the firmware on the ADSL router modem to the latest version. This is the one I chose being that my ADSL Router modem was only 6 months old you can aquire an updated version of the firmware from your ADSL Router Modem manufacturers website and intstall it. The menu on mine accessable by going to 192.168.1.1. and entering the username and password would bring up a control menu for my ADSL Router modem. It has an option under the tools menu for update. I chose this and used the updated firmware to upgrade my unit to the latest. It is important to note that YOU MUST only use the versions of firmware for your model unit. DO NOT use one that is close or something. The wrong firmware may make your modem completely unusable. If you are not confident with this I would get a computer savy friend to help or just buy a new ADSL router modem, the linksys units by cisco work well.

After upgrading my firmware I find not only can I get to my home sim but all sims, and all of the places I used to have problems getting to I have no problems with. All my teleport issues I ever had were fixed by this one thing. The firmware upgrade was free and was realitivley straight forward once I tracked down an upgraded version of the firmware.

Hope this is useful for many SL people I am happy I can now get home again

every single time i try to move in the last week, instant logout/quit/crash.
i knew LL was going down in a flaming heap of rubble, but did they have to make it so obvious? its no wonder nobodys playing this anymore. -.-

What SL is suffering is:

Cascade failure of thier own internal network systems.
Limited ability to expand.
Very hardware intensive systems.
Lack of control over User resources.
Lack of investment in the early years.

As its the only place available of its ilk, there are not a lot of choices.

LL should look over its shoulder, a new horizon is dawning, a new style of Virtual Platform has arrived, one that is accessible using a Internet Browser, yet has things like raytraced scenes, dynamic shadowing, nVidia PhysXs, multiple media formats supported, secure text and voice communications when required, file sharing etc etc...

Our processes will allow for multiple Virtual Reality platforms to be hosted, and the user to transport between then using the same avatar, identity and content. The user will be able to choose Where to go, not What Platform to choose. Maintaining not just your identity, but friends lists, familiarity of use for Text and Voice communications and functionality.

Using the Hypergrid, virtually anyone can own and run their own Virtual Reality Environment. 'Worlds' can be hosted on almost any standard webhosting package and support 1,000,000's of users. Linking through internal Portals creates a network much like links on blogs, websites etc.

Cost of Ownership and running costs are all very low, giving a fast ROI. Business can take advantage of Security they have never known before in Virtual Reality by the use of unique Instancing, linked with secure Authentication, tracing users, Secure Text and Voice communications, full behind the firewall solutions that link directly to existing systems and modules.

http://www.v-innovate.com try out the demo worlds. This is just the begining, we will grow, adding more functions, better builds, a greater network of users and platforms.

This past weekend I got logged out during a teleport for the first time in several weeks, so I'd say "one in a hundred or fewer".

As for your competing product... holy carp, look at these prices.

I seem to be crashing on every second or third tp. I has been happening for about 6 six months now. I am running Vista OP with an inagrated ATI Radeon 3200 graphics card. It started happening after on certian update (can't remember the update version) but when I reintall the older vewier verison it works find but with all the new updates and all the old verison does not work any more. I have tried other viewer including windlight and the rainbow viewer and have the same problems. This is really souring my SL experince.
