Second Life is going to be offline from 6AM to 10AM PDT on Friday, 23 Apr 2004 in order to renumber into our shiny new IP range at our shiny new ISP. For those of you with firewalls, the new range will be 66.150.244.0/23 (all IP addresses from 66.150.244.0 to 66.150.245.255).
If you are unable to connect after Friday, it may be due to your computer having a stale DNS record cached. Rebooting your computer should clear the local cache, and should fix the issue.
