Connectivity issues not resolved

I just gave up and went to sleep. I'm in Europe.

We'll see if LL fixed it for real, as they should have done the first time it happened.

Track down the problem...

Use this info to test your connection to the SL servers: http://blog.nalates.net/2011/10/26/troubleshoot-your-sl-connection/

If you have a problem connecting, it is important to know where you are located, city and state is close enough.

A large number of people in a localized area can have the same problem when a backbone provider has a problem. Knowing where those people are that have problems defines where the problem may be. If people all over the world are having a problem, it makes it a really good bet it is on the SL end.

If it is just those in the notheast of the USA, it suggests an ISP problem likely outside SL.

It takes LL sometime to decide if they have a problem or their ISP has a problem and then to post something about it if it is on their side. In general the people that would post an alert are the same people that fix the problem. In my experience they don't take the time to post an alert until they know they are some time away from having it fixed. If they think they are minutes from having it fixed, they keep working.

Connecting from North Italy

Now I finally can log in but after few seconds it gets stuck. The screen goes gray and my PC starts to run like crazy doing who knows what. I have to reboot PC to make that stop.

That sounds like you're having some some software issues. Check programs running in the background. Anti virus, maybe?
