I've been trying to help one of my friends in joining SL, and for some reason he can't go to the join page. I could so I created his account for him, only to find that he couldn't connect to the SL server. It tells him the server may be down, but I logged out and tried signing in with his name, and it worked perfectly.
Is this a problem with his firewall or something? He says he's played other online games with no troubles.
*Edit* After posting this I found the other thread about people not being able to log in. I had him make his firewall allow it, but it still doesn't work.
