Log In Issues "Requesting Region Capabilities"

[Katia Clifton]

I've got a weird problem.  About 50% of the time, I can't get logged into SL regardless of which viewer I'm using (Singularity is my "default").  I keep getting "stuck" on "Requesting Region Capabilities," which is attempted three times and then I get disconnected from the server.

Now, I can log into a different starting place other than home or last location with no issues (I just pick a place at random from the log in screen).  But... when I try to TP from an alternate starting locale (usually back to home) my map, my location, and my "about world" all seem to "stick" to the starting location, even though I'm no longer there.

Then, nothing rezzes at the new location.  So, I log out, try to TP home, and the whole process repeats itself. 

Any clues, insight, or suggestions for resolving this really annoying issue?
