Unable to connect to Second Life.
DNS could not resolve the host name.
Please verify that you can connect to the www.secondlife.com website. If you can, but continue to receive this error, please go to the support section and report this problem.

Has anyone else gotten this? I can connect the the website just fine. I'l appreciate any knowledge or input anyone can offer into this problem. I will report it as a problem, but with Linden that can take weeks to be addressed sometimes.

Same here :(

However I tried the 'repeatedly pressing enter' fix that was suggested for another log in issue recently & I'm in now :)

Uh oh. Something's b0rked. See /invalid_link.html this was happening much earlier for some folks. Note, though, that I just tried and can still login.

So maybe this is different than what happen to me last night and i am not home so cannot attempt now- question - do we maybe all have the same provider in common?

I have ATT - how about u guys? Cause ATT told me last night that their servers were down and i could not access the web other than ym and g-talk.

I just hit them with a support ticket. You all should do it to. That will bring it to their attention!

I had the same thing happen last night. Restarting my computer fixed it.

Wow I just got this for a about 10 minutes. I was trying to decide if I should restart my computer or my modem and then it started working again. Whew...

x2 last night. I resolved it by having a friend that had internet access get me a couple of public use DNS addresses that I plugged into my network settings on my computer and was online right away.

AT&T lost DNS servers a month or two back, also, for like 2 days straight. I was unimpressed.

Not sure if it's an LL issue or what, but here's the JIRA issue:

Try an other DNS server. I had the same problem. I use now: 1e 208.67.222.222 and 2e 208.67.220.220 This one is faster and generates no time outs to me any more.
