Second Life HTTP Problems

[Scubbie]

All I can get close to is Firmware 2.8Sky

In this case you have the Sagem 2504, which looks like this:



Edit: Ok Ged beat me to it.

Well, I have been told the constant HTTP request of V3 is causing the DNS to drop out, thus logging me out.

Vendor? Who do you mean?

A quick google shows this;

It's hard to explain why Firestorm and V2/3 give you trouble but Phoenix doesn't, except that the V2/3 code seems to be a little more sensitive that the V1 codebase that Phoenix is built on. There are two things to try, though. The easiest is to reboot your router. Just unplug it from the power for a few minutes. Go get a sandwich. When you plug it back in, reboot your computer for good measure. That operation will clean out the router's RAM and give it a chance to get a fresh grasp on an IP address.
If that doesn't do the trick, replace the DNS settings that your ISP assigns you by default with the Google free public DNS server addresses. You'll find good instructions for doing that at http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/.

Have a try of this?

That will be the people who run the game / Second Life / V3 etc

It looks like they have an issue etc and are fully aware of it.

Try changing the DNS on your network adapter according to that link and see if that helps?

If you are unsure then I would probably not attemp to etc incase you mess things up and lose your connection completely.

Yeah, have been told to, but it would cause to many problems to other in this house. Besides, i don't feel confident about doing it

The explanation from LL indicates it may be a DNS bug, so you could try changing the DNS in your PC. To do this on Win 7 right click the internet icon in the Tray and select 'Open Network and Sharing Centre'. Click 'Change Adapter settings' in the left pane. Highlight 'IPv4(TCP/IPv4)' and click the 'Properties' button. Select 'Use the following DNS Servers' and type in 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. These are the OPenDNS addresses and may solve your problem.

The procedure for Vista and XP is similar, if you are using a Mac, sorry no idea.

One day I will strangle SWMBO for interrupting me in the middle of posting.

It shouldn't affect anyone tbh

All DNS does is tell your browser etc which PC a website is on etc, (in laymans terms) and also, Google DNS is actually very good. If you change it on your network settings on the PC then it would only affect that PC

If you can find the courage or ask someone who is prepared to do it for you, it may just resolve your issue.

Will this affect only my computer, or all connected to the router? Not using Mac.

It may be my only hope as all the viewers will soon use this sysytem

Only the PC with the changes, all the other devices will get their DNS off the router as before.

Thank you everyone, I think I may have to try the DNS change, the way it was explained by Isitme, makes me a little more confident. I think I have to bite the bullet.

One question Isitme, how do I change back if I have to?
