When I login, it says "login failed, unable to connect to a simulator"?

I'm new to this game so I'm trying to figure this out, but once I login and go to play the game it says "login failed. unable to connect to a simulator". What does this mean? Does it have to do with my computer or maybe the games network?

It could just mean that the server for the sim that you are trying to log in at is off line (being restarted or down for maintenance).  Try logging in at a different location.  On your login screen there's a dropdown menu where you indicate whether you want to log in at the last place you visited, at your home, or at another location.  Try logging in either at your home or at, for example, Smith  (a nice, quiet sim).  Once your'e in world, then try to TP to wherever you really wanted to go.

If the problem is only just starting today, keep in mind that the entire Amazon Cloud (which is the hosting group for lots and lots of stuff) has just had a major snafu.  It's quite probable that some parts of the SL infrastructure are being hosted on Amazon gear, providing a robust, scalable and expandable computing system.  Normally, that is...  Whatever has gone wrong, it's very big and affects an enormous amount of the internet.  So you aren't the only one.
