It seems when I log in that I'm not connected, then it connect for about 4 seconds, then dissconnects again. It only stays on in short bursts. I've tried reinstalling, configuring, updating, everything. What should I do?
I run on Windows XP on a VAIO, with a Pentium 4 CPU 2.60 GHZ, and 512MB of RAM, on a DSL Cable Modem.
I used to run SL perfectly until the update.
Any help?

From: Tom Prototype DSL Cable Modem  Which is it, DSL or cable? Are you sure it's actually disconnecting, or does it seem to be freezing? I've had a problem like that since this last update - seems like heavy traffic stops the renderer under certain circumstances. |

Ahem... you know what I'm going to say...
wait for it....

Seriously, this does sound like a firewall issue. Have you tried disabling virus blocking/ Norton's anything software? Also, you said you reinstalled but did you remove all traces of SL before reinstalling? I believe there is a wiki article that covers that. I have just succumbed to doing that at every update instead of just running the updater.
