I'm assuming you've been able to log-in in the past. If not make sure your computer specs are within the range to run SL.

There are a number of things that you can try -

Reset your router (turn it off for a few minutes).
Try logging in to a different sim.
See if using the Release Candidate or other client makes a difference.
Clear cache. Ditch the settings.xml if you've recently changed something prior to the problem.

Others with clearer ideas will post more, I bet.

Get your login screen up, then open Edit --> Preferences, and tick "Show Start Location on Login Screen" in General. Type a sim name in the field that shows by your login fields down on the lower left.
