It sounds like your router screwed up and lost the connection, or at least was losing enough data in transit that your viewer and the SL servers were severely out of sync. Try just rebooting it (and your modem too, for good measure). That may be all it takes. Not to be pessimistic, but the other possibility is that the router has decided to die and needs to be replaced. Mine did that last month, at a cost of slightly over $100. One way to check that possibility is to temporarily unplug the cable from your computer to the router and then plug it directly into the modem, bypassing the router completely. If everything works, chances are good that your router is in trouble. (Don't leave the cable plugged into the modem, BTW. You'll lose the firewall protection that your router has been providing, if you bypass it permanently.) If you have been using a wireless Internet connection, I suggest moving to a direct cable or DSL connection. Plenty of people have no trouble with wifi, but Linden Lab neither recommends nor supports it.
Incidentally, it is "normal" to get stuck at "Logging in ... " after you have had a severe crash. The servers go through a standard routine when you log out, saving information about your last position and whatever. If that routine is interrupted, the servers will think that you are still logged in ... at least until they sense that something is wrong. It can take a minute or more before they close the connection completely, during which they won't let you log back in.
