Odd sound and About Land problems

When I logged in to SL I first got a message that there was a connection issue with SL. I restarted the viewer and logged on and noticed that even though sound is supposed to be restricted to sounds within my parcel I could hear my neighbor's waves. At the same time I could not hear sounds within my parcel. I also found I could not get any information using the About Land feature either by pulldown menu or clicking on land and using the piechart button. I relogged same problem but after several minutes and the sounds worked properly as did the About Land feature.

Several times I would crash upon trying to teleport and upon relogging would end up on at home despite having logon to last location set in preferences. Now upon relogging after my 4th crash I am back home again with the same sound and About Land issues. Does anyone know if these are known bugs and any workarounds or fixes? Thanks.

These are not Second Life bugs, these are genuine connection issues.

Could be a problem with your router/modem. Or on your ISP's end. Or maybe your dog just chewed on some wires a bit.
