Getting into SL that is. Since the updated, she can't get any farther than Verify Protocol. Someone, please help her!

We want our Willow ingame. People will be deprived of seeing her dance nakie on a desk if we can't get her connected.

She's got XP. both service paks, and is on a draytek router.

Let's see..

First she should dance naked on her computer desk, and then uninstall/re-install and make sure she's all up to date on DirectX.

Hadn't thought of that ! Windows temp indeed !!! Any of the windows/IE cache folders being crapped up full could cause a hang on any type of SL cacheing going on, I had that happen once.

EEK!

A Willow free SL is no SL at all!

BRING BACK OUR WILLOW! NOW!

Hon, have you tried swapping between Home and Last Location? Try each, then alternate if it freezes - sometimes I get a borked last location OR home and can only swap to get in.

Failing that, have you tried from a hyperlink? Ya know, like
secondlife://krittannia/100/100/ ?

Here's hoping something gets you back to us soon :)

Sounds like a firewall/router problem. Try disabling the firewall if you use one to see if that works. You might want to reset your router.

Hmm looks like it was my DNS screwing up again. I tried a few more times and I am now logged in.

If you're using XP, try running (in a command prompt window):

ipconfig /flushdns

then maybe try this one

netsh int ip reset log.txt

then reboot and see what happens?

I assume it's only SL that's giving you a problem?

You know...

There's a reason for a technical support forum, and there's a reason why Willow has already posted a thread about this there.

Mole, if this thread was in the tech forum you'd prolly be in there making some sarcastic comment about this not being the way to conduct a support discussion.

Edit: Don't worry. a quick glance shows you being your usual self there too. Nice one.
