Repeated attempts to log into Second Life failed

[RielStar]

Hello, I'm having trouble logging into Second Life via third party viewer Firestorm. The error messages that I've received thus far are "You have been logged out of Second Life. This region may be experiencing trouble. Please check your connection to the Internet". On one occasion I managed to actually get in-world for a few seconds and the sim went all crazy like television static and then a pop-up error message that says "Unable to connect to stimulator". I have tried changing my starting location to Lime, to no avail. I don't know if there's anything I can do at this point except to wait for a Linden to help sort out this issue. :matte-motes-delicious:

Any other ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Can you log in with the official viewer or any other viewer?

There are great trouble shooting tips that actually apply to all viewers both here:

and based upon what you stated, here:

A common fix for these types of problems is to set your Login location to a 'stable' sim that doesn't run on the Release Candidate channels.

Brown, Pooley, Sargasso are all good ideas.

I've tried to log in with the Phoenix Viewer and I am able to log inl. This is really strange because I can log into my alternate account in Firestorm but not for my main account.

If you can log in with a different viewer but not with firestorm, then I would suggest trying a clean install of firestorm.  It has fixed a myriad of problems for me.

(google firestorm clean install for directions if needed)

I tried this and it worked like a charm! Thanks to everyone for the help! :matte-motes-inlove:
