I treated myself to a new Gateway p-7805u laptop yesterday, duel core, 4gig of ram, nvidia 9800m video card, vista home premium, DX10.
Everytime I attempt to login I get: "Unable to connect to SL. Despite our best efforts something unexpected has gone wrong. Please check the status page to see if there is a known problem with the service."
Ok, it has been checked. Logins are working normally. I've checked out a half a dozen different forums on SL/Laptops and most seem to work fine even with less specs as this gateway.
Does anybody have any advice before I get a premium account for a month for linden support?

If you have a firewall, either software on your computer, or in your modem or router, you'll need to configure it to let SL work.

What all did you check to determine that there is no firewall in effect?
