Hi, chris, and welcome, at least as soon as you get your problem fixed. It shouldn't take much time at all to establish a connection.

This is really something you're more likely to get answered by asking the Lindens directly or checking the FAQ or Knowledgebase under Service & Support.

But one thing I'd suggest is checking (if you haven't already) to make sure your firewall isn't blocking ports that SL needs. See:

this KB entry

Good luck!
