I just got a new Netgear router as an up grade from my Linksys.. WGR615..
I can't connect through it..

Anybody else have this problem?
Looks like I'm stuck with the old Linksys..

no, just in panic mode thinking my new router wasn't working right. funny part was i reconnected the linksys, and it had reset to factory defaults on it's own...

go into properties on the sl icon on your desktop....after the quotes try typing in
-port 13000

it should look like this "C:\Program Files\SecondLife\newview.exe" -port 13000

this is of course once sl is actually working again

this also has to be done every time there is an upgrade to sl & only do it on the main computer not your second one

As a final followup (and since I have time to kill because I can't get on again...)

I did finally connect to SL this moring with my new Netgear router, so the problem, as we are all painfully aware right now is with SL itself.
