This error normally appears when the simulator is offline on which you have been trying to connect to, so you did right by trying to get into other locations.

But apparently it can also happen when the viewer's cache is corrupted and can't find the last related information to send to the server.

In that case try to clear your cache  Me > Preferences > Advanced, clean cache

If that doesn't help try to make a clean install of your viewer. (http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_clean_reinstall)

Before you start ripping things apart and doing clean installs, check your connection to SL. This is where most problems like this start. While you may have a great general Internet Connection, you may have SL specific problems. Look through Troubleshoot Your #SL Connection to see if you, your ISP, or SL have problems that are keeping you from connecting.

Of course always check the grid status: Second Life Grid Status Reports. See if a grid wide problem has come up. It can take a couple of hours for a problem to appear there. So, keep checking while you try to resolve the problem.

Running through these steps first can save you time and work.
