second life viewer 2.0 says: "contact support" and report the problem.

SLviewer 2.0 says my Mac has a graphics card that is not recognizable to SL but it may work. Login fails in viewer 2.0 saying: "DNS cound not resolve the host name." I can login ok on the web SL site, but not on my application of SL viewer2.0.  

Any tips to solve this?

It's a Mac problem.   Here's what my friend Peewee would say about it:

There is a JIRA about this problem for Macs https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-25627

 

Here is a fix posted by Gio Solo that might help you:

 

I found a temporary solution for my Mac. Now I can use Second Life Viewer 2.6.3.

 

I found the solution here: http://neilrobinson.wordpress.com/2008/05/19/a-fix-for-dns-errors/

 

Basically I had to add the following additional DNS servers to my DNS settings in Network settings under System Preferences:

 

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

 

If that doesn`t work for  you, you can go back to the previous version of the viewer here http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Supported_Viewers make sure you also switch off automatic updates in your preferences > setup or it will just update you again.

 

If you need a step by step walkthrough of how to try the above fix, CyFish made one here: http://second-lifers.livejournal.com/1135064.html
