The fact that you posted here means that you do in fact have a viable internet connection, so that is not the problem. your Firewall may be in issue but also you stated you have tried many viewers, none of which are working. this being said, disable your firewall for the time being, delete ALL viewers completely, including caches and Appdata, and do a clean reinstall of 1 viewer only. if you have remnants of older versions of some viewers on your computer get rid of that as well. once you have logged on successfully, re enable your firewall and if you get a firewall warning ,allow that viewer and SLvoice etc as a allowed application(s) then go to preferences and do a backup incase you need to reinstall your settings at a later time

here hippie have some more snow lol

you can try to do a character test reset, and basically "ruth" yourself back to when you first started SL, and then rebuild your avatar,... in the meantime i would do a abuse report on that individual for griefing you and ask the lindens to do a avatar reset in the event that a character test reset does not work. go to the Develop menu in your viewer, then avatar, character test, > test male

Rachel the SL grid is currently undergoing a major maintenance for the past few days and expected to conclude today...this may be why you are having login issues

direct delivery is automatic in the viewer...within your inventory you should now see a direct delvery section below the regular inventory listings in firestorm. to set up direct delivery as a merchant, you to have a marketplace account and store and edit your inventory accordingly for direct delivery. if you have inventory in your marketplace account that is still associated with the magic box delivery system, you will have to migrate that inventory over manually by re uploading while in world. if you look in your toolbar under Avatar ..you will see marketplace outbox ...drag your magic box inventory items that are in your firestorm inventory to the marketplace outbox and it will upload them onto the direct delivery system , then edit the listings accordingly.. oh yeah..1 more thing.. to get the merchant outbox make sure you have the latest firestorm version (4.0)
