Hello Blaze - OK lets get you going shall we?

That error "socket operation timed out" suggests to us that you are using a PC running Linux. Is this correct?

Next, stop making accounts. That is not the problem.

Does your PC meet these requirements...

Linux	Minimum Requirements	Recommended
Internet Connection*:	Cable or DSL	Cable or DSL
Operating System:	A reasonably modern 32-bit Linux environment is required. If you are running a 64-bit Linux distribution then you will need its 32-bit compatibility environment installed.

Please, so we can help your further, please update your question with the following information as follows: Select the Options drop-down menu to the right of your question and select Edit Question.

1) The make and model of your PC or Laptop

2) Your Operating System

3) The make and model of your computer's Graphics Card or Subsystem.

4) The Speed and quality of your ISP.

5) [Optional] A bag of Chocolate for the SL Answers Volunteers

 

The full requirements page is found at this link: https://secondlife.com/my/support/system-requirements/

 

So taking a stab at the  "socket operation timed out" error, a too aggressive AV program can prevent the SLPlugin.exe from talking on the ports it needs to use in order to do it's thing such as assist with a login request. Please make sure that your PC's AV software fully allows SecondLife to communicate freely through the firewall.
