When I log in to SL, I start to hear sounds, and the blue loading bar. Sometimes it logs all the way in and starts to load objects, and textures are becoming less blurry, but then I get the SL version of the BSOD
You have been logged out of Second Life:
The viewer has detected mangled network data indicative of a bad upstream network connection or an incomplete local installation of Second Life.

HELP!

I downloaded the latest viewer with voice and all that nifty stuff a while back on 2 computers. XP and Vista laptop(after a bit of work, it actually worked)

All of a sudden BOTH my computers seem to get this bug at the same time.
I could reproduce it for both the computers when the voice feature was on. When it was off, there were no problems. Now I can barely log in before I get the mangled network.... box up, 1 min MAX later. SL shuts down automatically. Sometimes I can't even log in properly. It just shuts down in the final stages of loading.

What I have tried:
Rebooting the computers
Reinstalling same, and older usable versions
Messing with preferences before login(disabling voice fixed the bug last time)
Logging on in a different sim


Anyone got any ideas on why this is happening? It happened at exactly the same time on both computers... I'm thinking network, but nothing has changed, and everything works just fine other then SL...
