That is a known issue with the latest viewer. Do what is described in this blog as temporary workaround:

Hello kortini. It is a known problem especially for users with macs. See this jira: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-25627

Rolig Loon found a solution for this problem which seems that works for most of users. Click the following url:

You need to add the following additional DNS servers to your DNS settings in Network settings under System Preferences:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

If the problem remains, download an older version of Viewer 2 here and set your software updates NO to be installed automatically. (Preferences --> Setup --> Hardware)
