When I start the program and enter my name and password the game loads for a while, and then it says:

"Unable to connect tp second life. The system may be down. Please try again in a few minutes, or click help for advice and a link to the system status web page".

At first I thought it was my firewall (just the one, allready in tiger osx), but I tried to turn it off and it didn't work.

I have an iMac with intel duo core and my internet goes through a proxy server.


Please can someone help me?

Do you have this all the time or from time to time?
I get different messages of failure from time to time, but had had the same with my PC.

Most of the time I simply retry to log in and it works.

I use a Macbook Pro, latest OS-X, and never touched my firewall-configs.
(Don't want to burn my fingers, huh. :o) )

It's al the time. I've never been IN the game... Just signed up...

So it must be something with my proxy server... Anyone else who has problems with that??

if your using a proxy, yes that could definitely cause headaches... If you going to do anything like SL, you'll probably want to kill a proxy setup if at all possible.
