The problems seem to be in above.net as the following appeared after taking my router out of the equation (modem reset). $ traceroute www.secondlife.com traceroute to secondlife.com (216.82.2.17), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets 1 10.17.136.1 (10.17.136.1) 101.668 ms 34.941 ms 29.825 ms 2 vl7.aggr1.lnh.md.rcn.net (208.59.202.193) 33.008 ms 72.923 ms 34.771 ms 3 tge0-1-0-0.core2.lnh.md.rcn.net (207.172.15.19) 32.202 ms 132.537 ms 48.403 ms 4 tge0-1-0-1.core2.chgo.il.rcn.net (207.172.19.237) 109.543 ms 81.606 ms 63.161 ms 5 bdle2.border1.eqnx.il.rcn.net (207.172.15.196) 98.202 ms bdle3.border1.eqnx.il.rcn.net (207.172.15.212) 53.252 ms bdle2.border1.eqnx.il.rcn.net (207.172.15.196) 64.165 ms 6 mpr1.ord7.us (206.223.119.86) 65.614 ms 58.212 ms 170.576 ms 7 * xe-1-3-0.cr1.ord2.us.above.net (64.125.30.142) 53.478 ms 62.272 ms 8 xe-0-2-0.cr1.dfw2.us.above.net (64.125.30.61) 87.058 ms 89.530 ms 89.651 ms 9 xe-0-0-0.cr2.dfw2.us.above.net (64.125.30.74) 98.107 ms 81.437 ms 83.932 ms 10 xe-7-2-1.er2.dfw2.us.above.net (64.125.30.97) 65.542 ms 63.407 ms 78.403 ms 11 64.124.146.2.allocated.above.net (64.124.146.2) 76.633 ms 84.993 ms 66.478 ms 12 * * * 13 vip.www-dfw.secondlife.com (216.82.2.17) 106.195 ms 79.945 ms 80.785 ms $ This one is even MORE interesting ... $ traceroute sim8509.agni.lindenlab.com traceroute to sim8509.agni.lindenlab.com (216.82.39.68), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets 1 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 1.250 ms 0.142 ms 0.120 ms 2 10.17.136.1 (10.17.136.1) 29.515 ms 8.099 ms 8.603 ms 3 vl7.aggr1.lnh.md.rcn.net (208.59.202.193) 8.493 ms 12.562 ms 20.433 ms 4 tge0-0-0-0.core2.lnh.md.rcn.net (207.172.15.3) 10.111 ms 10.136 ms 22.369 ms 5 tge0-1-0-1.core2.chgo.il.rcn.net (207.172.19.237) 48.510 ms 38.050 ms 35.939 ms 6 bdle2.border1.eqnx.il.rcn.net (207.172.15.196) 47.839 ms bdle3.border1.eqnx.il.rcn.net (207.172.15.212) 56.272 ms bdle2.border1.eqnx.il.rcn.net (207.172.15.196) 38.626 ms 7 mpr1.ord7.us (206.223.119.86) 33.042 ms 70.776 ms 45.830 ms 8 64.125.22.209 (64.125.22.209) 57.532 ms 31.344 ms 34.139 ms 9 xe-0-2-0.cr1.dfw2.us.above.net (64.125.30.61) 59.319 ms 60.282 ms 61.537 ms 10 xe-2-1-0.cr1.iah1.us.above.net (64.125.30.57) 75.895 ms 66.579 ms 75.702 ms 11 xe-1-0-0.cr2.iah1.us.above.net (64.125.30.70) 70.915 ms 70.926 ms 70.721 ms 12 xe-0-1-0.mpr4.phx2.us.above.net (64.125.28.73) 87.605 ms 89.013 ms 94.817 ms 13 xe-0-0-0.mpr3.phx2.us.above.net (64.125.27.41) 88.111 ms 88.548 ms 89.556 ms 14 64.124.161.254.allocated.above.net (64.124.161.254) 93.425 ms 95.176 ms 95.046 ms 15 * * * 16 * * * 17 * * * 18 * * * ...

That option is not in that tab as I just noticed it was gone.

If you have any real content in SL... for goodness sake, back it up now. Either make sure you have the "originals" on your RL hard-drive or export your stuff to another grid or two immediately. I've seen this pattern before. It's not a good sign. Me too I've seen this pattern several times and I have all my stuff on 3 tb drives Wish I could say the same. All of the houses I have created use at least 1 megaprim somewhere. Which of course means the entire build can not be exported now because the megas were created by someone else. Then there is the little issue of the inventories of things everyone has bought over the years.

AFAIK, they do not record voice (unless the patriot act or such is making them do it). Which means there would be no way to prove your AR. Even if they did have a copy of the audio recording though you would have to convince someone there to listen to the recording ... good luck with that. Best advice: never use voice. They have text chat transcripts if you need to file an AR on something said in them.
