Hi again Mathias,

Please stick to one thread as it just makes it more confusing as people will offer the same suggestions again. You can post again on your own thread by using "Comments".

Did you try the things that were already suggested on your last post? If so what were the results?

I wish there was a better answer for the OP. Also, there use to be an article in the KB wiki on this one, but I can't find it to save my life!

ok..you asked if this was a home network...yes it is,i am on wireless as i am staying with friends.i would say possibly running wireless is my problem,but then i would be wrong since i have been wireless since 2006.i started sl in 07 and have been running it on my laptop ever since.i have tried logging into different locations,several given to me by linden labs when i called the billing service.yes i know they are not tech support but they tried to help.i have tried different viewers,Phoenix,SL Viewer,Imprudence and Emergence.

Hi Mathias,

As I stated in reply to your forum post, I see this message when I try to access SL from the corporate network or from my laptop when I am running the corporate VPN software.  That's why I asked if this was a home network.  I would not expect this kind of error due to a home router/firewall or a home software firewall.  They are not that sophisticated.  This error occurs very late in the login process and happens when the simulator starts streaming UDP packets.  Those packets are not getting to your viewer.  That's why the viewer message is so vague.  It has received every response from SL up to that point and then no packets from the sim.  So stepping through some of the other suggestions like logging into a different sim is certainly worth trying.  But it is possible that you are, in fact, looking at an ISP problem where they are limiting this type of traffic on their network.
