This works.

I was told by 'Square-Enix' that you need a Static IP on your PS2 with Port Forwarding enabled for the Ports listed on their website FFXI uses under the Platforms > Windows tab.

The ports are:
TCP 25, 80, 110, 443 or 50000 - 65535,
UDP 50000 - 65535,
...and maybe UDP 53.

Here are a couple links to guide you through it.

This has additional information concerning the Network Adapter, if you need it.

Actually - this does not work. I can confirm that.

My PS2 is wide open to internet traffic (don't care to much about my PS2), has a static IP address (always has), and I am having trouble downloading the most recent update (from today).

My PC - on the other hand, has more locks and chains on it than a bank's money vault, is closed to all internet traffic (except that which it initiates of course), and it downloaded the update in 2 seconds flat.

Today seems to be the oppisite of what was happening to me saturday - where my PS2 worked but my PC did not.

I tried restarting the downloading numerous times and it sits at 0% and never goes any further. Turned off my PS2 turned it back on and logged back in. POL came up, goes to do the FFXI update - 0% for hours on end.

Strange how today - it is oppisite from what happened to me saturday.
