Else I would be pissed off. I can't seem to connect on my first attempt. I assume I need to open a few ports on my router but I can't find any good info on what ports/protocol are needed.

"This site has been disabled for the time being." I try to ask a question on the site and I get this, I try the knoledge base and I get this error as well.

I am stuck at login promp. "Connecting to region"

I tried on a completely open dial up connection, refuses to connect at all. Under the FAQ it states dial-up will not work at all so I can't test that theory thats its my router.

yes yes, running latest drivers for everything
win xp - fully updated
radeon 9700 pro aiw using 4.10's

If anyone knows what ports and protocol to forward I would be grateful. Any other suggestions would also be accepted. There is no log file to speak of generated that I could locate.

If you're using dialup (ie anything 56kbps or slower), SL simply will NOT run acceptably. The second you connect you're downloading at least 100kbps/sec, and that's in an empty area.

SL is sadly designed for broadband only.

yes, I have multiple internet accounts for testing

Its my main broadband connection I don't want to bypass the router on. I just fired up a dialup connection to see what would happen. It seems it recognizes it as dialup and refuses to attemp to connect.

I opned the following for outgoing connections:
udp 69.25.104.146 12035
tcp 66.150.244.143 443
udp 44.242.18.0 4608
udp 69.25.104.148 12036

I opened the following ports for incoming udp:
63561
65365
59391
55233
51063
46893
42723
38553
34383
30213
26045
21875
17711
13541
61365
61367

Its still not enough, I am tired of starting second life, monitoring where it gets stuck at, adding an accept entry for the port it got stuck at, rebooting firewall, clearing firewall's cache and then doing it over and over again. I'm not going to do this all night, for all I know there are a couple thousand ports it needs open.

oh, also this is crap - this is way too many ports in such a large spectrum to need to open up

Thank you Cath, but I do not see any signature at all for your posts. - nm I turned on sigs in the cp. I shouldn't need to think this much on a saturday....
