Teleporting to some SIMs hangs the game

I have a strange problem whereas there are some SIMs I can teleport to and others that I cant. When I try to teleport to the ones that cause the problem it hangs on 'Contacting Region' and then nothing. I have been told that I appear at the destination but I cant chat. I can send IMs but I cant see where I am (camera stays at old location) and I cant move.

When I reconnect I need to connect to Home rather than the last location or it just does the same thing on login. I have tried turning all firewalls off to see if that is the problem. I'm on a new laptop with a new installation of SL and its still happening....

I've contacted my ISP and they cant help much.... they asked me if I could tell them what IPs I am connecting to when I have the problem... does each SIM have its own IP? If so maybe there is something with my ISP that doesn't like a certain range of them but they cant help me unless I can tell them what this range is.

I am out of ideas... anyone else have any?

Some areas that do work:
City of Tharna
Muirhead

Some that crash me:
Ambertown
Transylvania
Sinaburoe
Torley Linden

Moved to Technical Issues for further discussion.

Are any friends of yours also having this same problem, Braeden?

Each region does have its own IP... you can check from HELP menu ---> ABOUT SECOND LIFE. It will say where you are at with all the details.
