Kim, you're saying that in order to see other avatars or their attachments, you find you need to switch your group tag? Is that correct?

Does this happen every time? Do you need to switch your group tag to see every avatar, or can you sometimes see them without having to do that?

How long has this been happening? Has it only been since you've been on cable?

Are you also on a wireless network?

In Help > About Second Life, What does it say for "Packets Lost"?
(For instance, mine says "Packets Lost: 1/39909 (0.0%)";)

How long have you had cable? Have you been able to run SL without problems since you had it, or has it only been since you've had cable that there have been problems?

I'm getting this all the time as well and I haven't changed my system.

I presume it is a bug.

So you're saying that you've only seen this problem since you've had your current cable connection, despite having had cable at another location? Was it with a different provider before?

Okay, from their website, it looks like you do have cable, and the T1 part refers to your connection beyond that. (Just making sure.)

Do you know what firewall software you're running? Is there a router, or just your cable modem? Are you running anything by Norton?

I have no firewall running, no router, and no anti virus program :eek: lol, They put a tiny lil box on the cable then run the cable cord to my puter. I have a cable modem but they said I don't need it.

Well, you are getting fairly notable packet loss... I have to assume that it's related if the problem started when you switched ISPs. In Edit > Preferences > Network, try scaling your bandwidth slider back a bit... say, set it to 200 or so.

Does that help? What was it set to originally?

If you turn it back up, does packet loss increase? It might not be related to your problem.
