Question

My internet filter is blocking the URL/Domain/Http that SL uses to stream meshes, textures, and sculpts from.

I hope someone can tell me what the URL/Domain/Http is so that I can unblock it. i.e. "http://www.slstream.com/"

If the servers are kept a secret for security reasons then I will have to stop making content for SL because my internet filter is staying installed.

I asked in the Viewer subforum but havent yet had a response so I'm trying here.

Thank you for your time. :)

EDIT: Thanks Rolig but it isnt my firewalls or antivirus. It is my internet filter. For example when I first installed my filter I couldnt even run the SL viewer because my filter was set to block www.secondlife.com altogether. I unblocked that and it allowed me to run the exe. But when the switch was made to load meshes via http, my filter is blocking meshes and textures from rezzing. Wherever that content comes from is blocked by the internet filter. If I had the "http" server I could simply unblock it.

Here is the link to my topic in the Second Life Viewer subforum:

EDIT 2: WOOH! Thanks guys, it looks like it was www.lindenlab.com that was blocked. I unblocked it and everything works as normal! Thank you very much! :)

Meshes, textures and sculpts are not streamed, but your firewall or anti-virus may be blocking access to your viewer's exe file, so you'll need to make an exception for it.  If you are behind a corporate or campus firewall, you may also need to deal with a proxy server.  Here's the information you'll need >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Using-Second-Life-with-a-firewall/ta-p/1304539

You can probably find errors in your viewer's log file. It is just a big text file. Errors will show what is missing or what did not work. It is here on Windows 7 for Firestorm:

C:\Users\[The username you use to log into your computer, not your avatar name]\AppData\Roaming\Firestorm\Logs

The AppData folder is hidden by Windows, but you can un-hide it:  Windows start button --> Control Panel --> Folder Options --> View tab --> Show hidden files.

It looks like these domains are important:

lindenlab.com
secondlife.com
amazonaws.com    (Amazon cloud computing services)
vivox.com   (voice)
