Can't log in - Is something down?

Can't log in. Starts connecting and gets to region handshake and then fails.

Is it just me, or anybody else having this trouble?

Grid open according to blog and no maintenance planned. Try selecting another sim if you have that enabled in preferences Misti.

Not sure how to do that. And still can't log in after an hour of trying and 2 pc reboots.

Ohh keyy, last time I did this was a few updates ago so might not be spot on here Misti.
In Preferences (Control P) on the General tab you should have a toggle for showing login or startup dialogue. Enable this, then on login you should get a drop down with home/last place visited/select region. This last one will allow you to put a name of a known sim in.

A whole hour sounds a little suspect though. It's still region handshake that fails?

Yes, makes it all the way through to the handshake, and then fails. It tells me that the one server didn't receive packets from the other.

Yes, I have the drop down window there, to connect to Home or different region. Problem is, I really don't know of any other region names to try. I've never really paid any attention to the regions names that I have visited.

Try a place called Denmark when logging in ..........

LOL took me a while to learn any too. Try Yamma Yamma or Ahern

beaten by a whisker

Ok, i tried denmark, yamma yamma and ahern, and got the same thing with all of them. "waiting for region handshake....." "log in packet never received by log in server"

Well i am in world, after a sim boundary crash and sim crash following it. but my partner hasn't been able to get back, and i know he would never just leave without saying goodnight. so he isn't able to get in... Sounds like there are some issues with something somewhere.. but such is Second Life... Good luck

I'm starting to learn this. But I just didn't know if it was my internet connection not passing data or if it is sl. I can go places around the net, so probably not my pc.

Sigh...

Thanks Imogen, still nothing on http://secondlife.com/status/

I think LL almost see it as a challenge to invent new ways of not working to catch us out .. or am I just being paranoid?

2 hours later and a 4th reboot of the pc and still the same thing.

I wonder if it would do any good to go to support? Anybody ever try that? hehe

Have you used support? If you havent then try it. They do solve problems! I had them solve problems i had.

I did ... I went to support, submitted a ticket, and then got reading around and read where it says that for non-premier account holders, all submitted trouble tickets will be deleted without being viewed first. And then I thought - how efficient. Well, I did my part, I did submit a ticket telling them about it. If they don't want to read it then I don't know what to tell them

Anyone can file a ticket paying accounts and non paying accounts they answer all tickets you need to wait until someone answer it. They always do.

This may be true, I don't yet know. This will be my first time submitting a ticket, so I will see. I was just going by the statement that I saw after i submitted, that said:
