Post details on how you connect, at what speed, and if through a router? If through a router, do you have all the necessary ports open?

I've seen that before during some harsh conditions, but I kept persisting in logging in and I finally made it. Right now is a time after a major update, so some things will settle down gradually.

Do you get this message every time you try to login?

And BTW, don't be so hard on yourself. :)

Welcome to Second Life Kelly.

Don't confuse newness with stupidity - maybe not yet informed - if such a state exists.

Close down SL and try relogging again, and let it sit until it either logs on or times out.

A router is a physical piece of hardware used to connect more than one computer to a single internet connection.

I guess I'm not going to be able to get on up here... I'm at college and the network is shared by everyone in my dorm... :-(

Hey Kelly,
Go to your network IT guys with the info found here https://secondlife.com/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Configuring+your+firewall+for+Second+Life+access and see if they won't help you get the ports needed for Secondlife to run.
Good luck.

That shouldn't be a problem. That is a different kind of routing. I agree with the above posts.
