Zarvarza Novelli Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Well, it has been about a year now, and I still cannot log into SecondLife. My Last Log-In was in (I think May or June of last year). I have tried reinstalling the program several times, logging in under different accounts, cleaning out my computer, system restore, and everything else I can think of. When I go to log in, it just says it cannot log me in. I cant log in to different locations, or other multiple (old) accounts. I cannot create new accounts that successfully log in either.If there are any suggestions on how to remedy this, they would be greatly greatly appreciated.

ohn Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 i think you kinda gotta give some details ... like what viewer and version you are trying to log in with, what your computer specs are, an stuff like that. otherwise, its hard for people to give advice.

Amethyst Jetaime Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 SL is not compatible with satellite, wireless or dial up internet servce, So if you have these, you need to change to DSL, cable or fiber optic high speed service. If you have this already, be sure that you computer meets the minimum system requirements that can be found here. If you meet the requirements above and have tried a few different viewers, your next step is to file a support ticket under 'Account Issue", which you can do even if you are not a premium member.

I would echo Amethyst and say file a ticket or even call the help desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Yareach Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 IP bans are simple to evade -- just unplug the cable modem from power and the coax for an hour, then plug it all back together again. The cable modem will get a new IP address at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aard Andel Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Isn't there something called a "hardware ban" that allows your computer to be indenfitied by other than IP address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me like it could be an overprotective firewall or virus scanner that might be preventing it. If you have either of these, have you had the same ones installed during the whole time you've had this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I effectively have a fixed IP address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cable modem will get a new IP address at this point. As jwenting said, it depends on your ISP. I don't have a fixed IP but it takes a lot more than an hour unplugged (cable modem) for it to change. It takes quite a few days of being unpowered before it will change the next time I power up - perhaps a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiva Draconia Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Amethyst You say SL isn't compatible with a wireless connection, yes? Have you anything to verify this? I'm asking, simply because well.. I'm on a wireless connection pretty much all the time I'm in SL. The only way it *wouldn't* be compatible, from what I can see, is if it has a really small D/L limit, or really really REALLY low speeds. Other than that, it is possible to use a wireless connection with SL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eve Greymoon Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 It is possible, but not recommended because generally speaking wireless connections tend to drop packets. Fine for regular browsing, not good for SL. You will not get optimal performance with a wireless connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astarri Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 i was using my new macbook pro with wireless and second life was great. then all of a sudden after months it stopped allowing me to log in. I keep getting the message "darn, you've been logged out....... so frustrating. i deleted all second life files and just re-downloaded and still the same message. it is so frustrating that i cannot seem to connect to anyone at SL to help me. Especially now that they have my money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcusgay Lefevre Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 If someone is IP banned or hardware banned, would they still be able to log into this forum then? I pretty much doubt that as I´d assume the forum would get spamed by many of the banned griefers then? I may be wrong though, in that case ignore me, was just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoiselleErin Teardrop Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Without the details of exactly what happens when you try to log in, people are kind of left to guessing... First, how for do you get? Does it get to the log in screen and then you put your info in, and SL says it cannot log you in? If so, what details does it give? This means - is SL saying it cannot log you in or is your own computer saying it cannot run SL? If it is your computer - does it just crash in the middle of log-in? If so, try an older viewer. A lot of computers are having problems with this newest viewer, V3 something.... I know mine does. As far as being banned from SL - You have to mess up pretty bad for that to happen. Pretty bad as in - Fraud (like stealing people's money), Creating a viewer that is seriously problematic (Like something called "Emerald viewer" ), creating or participating in a really shady sim like a casino of "wonderland. Basically it has to be real-life illegal stuff. OR something that only experienced SL'ers would have any clue how to commit. Silly crap like particle griefing or telling land officers where to go is not gonna get you banned from SL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, it is possible to use a wireless connection with SL unless your wireless is really bad, meaning you've got some hunk of junk POS wireless is fine. I've been using it for years and no trouble at all. I would look more along the lines of dialup, firewall or a DNS ban if you have a DNS filter on your server. I have a parental DNS ban on our network and I block sites categorized as dating and social networking and SL was blocked due to that so I had to white list the domains.
