Your Internet may be fine for web browsing, streaming video or music, emailing, and posting on a forum or blog.......but not for heavy data transfers for a program like SL.  If that is all that is wrong, then a router and modem reboot usually fixes that issue.  But there are other things that will generate that error message.......your firewall blocking SL and your anti-virus seeing the huge data flow from SL as a virus and block it (several AV's have this problem..........Norton being a big one).  Your Internet may be fine for normal, everyday web usage and totally the opposite for SL.

Just to let you know I am having the same exact problems as you. I am on SL on a regular basis.  M computer is a new one...This started yesterday. Never have had this problem last more than one day.  So far no help for me either.

There is help for you as well as help for the original poster of this thread.  Both of you say you are on a new computer and both of you say your problems started after you started using the new computer.  Where do you think a logical solution might lay?  With Second Life or the viewer?  Or maybe it might be with the only common denominator between the two of you?  Something changed.........and that something is the computer.  If you want to keep pointing the finger at SL or the viewer(s) and close your mind to the common denominator then it's likely there will be no solution.

 

Look at something in the system of the new computer that is different than what the old computer had.  A setting, a firewall, and anti-virus, some network change that occured when you set your computer up.  Windows 7 (which I assume is the operating system on both new computers...........after all Windows is on 80% of all computers being used today).  It could be the hardware the new computer has that is different from the old.  Almost anything can be the cause of the problems.  But it's almost a lead pipe cinche that it's somewhere on your system.  And as long as you refuse or resist looking at that possibility you'll never solve your problem (maybe not never, but certainly you chances of a solution are much lower).

 

System specs would help immensely.......without them you're chances of a successful resolution are almost non-existant.  Unless you rely on luck...........which does work over time (lots of time).  Help others help you (or quit whinning).
