I had this problem hit and re-booted the computer which seemed to fix the situation.

However It still takes from 20-45 seconds for it to find the Domain Name.

Any soloutions?

The problem likely lies with your

A: Operating System configuration
or
B: ISP
or
C: Both.

Your OS isn't caching DNS lookups properly, or your DNS server is overloaded, or likely if you're running Windows, your primary DNS server is down and/or your Secondary is overloaded and/or your machine's HOSTS file is corrupted/rewritten by spyware to route all DNS requests through the spyware company.

In short - does it do this for all domain names? I bet it does. If it doesn't, it's your ISP's issue, most likely.

Nope it only does this to Second life and why does it seem like its Always the ISP and not Second life?

This problem has only existed since the last update (Last wednesday)


More than likely, Second Life 1.11 has Failed.
