what you have to do is go into your router set-up and chose the port forwarding option and put in the ports 50000-65000 i think that the right numbers at least.

best way is to google for your router though as each one is slightly different.
im sry

Ok, I was just talking to one of the techs for SE, and I found out that the problem is that we need to open some ports though Port Forwarding. I have no idea how to do that, but maybe you know because I have some of the #s but Im not sure if they will only work for me. If you know anythin about Port Forwarding and want to help get back online, just send me a msg or somethin so we can fix this damn problem.

howd i get it to work?

Answer i didnt yet. Sent a help request form to SE, spent two hours awaiting a web chat with a SE emp[loyee, got no employee after two hours.

Everything worked fine yesterday though, i have now tried re-installing the viewer and re-updating, no luck.

I figured out what my trouble is though.

My computer cannot connect as POL isnot picking up my global IP adrees, it finds the computer omne fine, but the global one it refuses to detect at all.

Can anyone gimme a hint as to how to get this working? Please. Else im going to be waiting ages on SE to get back to me.

I can use the rest of the internet perfect, no quirms its just POL that wont work, the rest of my games do however. Thios is really annoying m enow.
HELP!

I keep getting viewer update error messages, saying that it cant detect my network settings or connections when they are already connected.

Ugh.

i download the playonline patches insert my id and pass. get to the billing info and hit OK.

next thing it says is to wait a few minutes before trying again for secruity perposes.

so i wait 5 mins and rehit OK. still says it. i download a few songs (10-15 mins) still says the same damn thing. fully search whms stuff on this site (20mins) and the damn thing STILL says wait...

I've been trying off and on for 4 hrs now. When I finally do get on all searches come up as "Search Failed". I'm invited to a pt, tele and I get stuck in the zone and POL kicks me. Log back in 3 more times, and I'm stuck at the crystal with connection probs. Am I the only one having these probs or is my frustrations shared?

I have been trying to re-register an account with Playonline but the registration servers have been down for the last two days. And are still down by 8:00 p.m. EST.

I'm really starting to get worried. Actually, it's closer to a nervous breakdown.

Seriously, people need to just quit complaining about the updates. They are there to help us. As far as the whole alternating the update schedule, in Japan, where everything for the game is located, is where the people doing the updates are. They update all they need to and then they go home and go to sleep while to computer updates the old with the new. I doubt the programmers and game specialists are sitting at their programming cubicals and offices all day and night long. The maintance crew on updates prolly do it before and update over night. Just chill... besides... the updates usually get done around the afternoon. Shouldn't you be doing other important things like a job, school, bills, taxes, chores, cooking, laundry during this time? Get a grip. How would you like it if they didn't update at all?
Uddate time

yesterday i notcied that when it gave the notice of the update it said 9am (pst.) and said it would last for 5 hours. not sure why it says 8-13 on here. should be good to go by 5 est.

lol i would think all the users of FFXI trying to consatantly login all at once would obviously cause the server to break...

ok this sux bcuz i cant play and im on a time limt and its takin 4ever 2 load.
Heh..
# Mar 02 2005 at 4:29 PM Rating: Decent
After rumaging around in the forums for a lil and seeing what everyone is getting, I refreshed this page and saw that FFXI was back up so I tried to get back on.

I got a few POL errors and tried connecting again. Really slowly getting on. Still in POL trying to retrieve messages, so I think I got father on then most of you.

But yea, as said before this is because of network congestion on POL's side. The update just ended so everyone is trying to get back on at the same time which is causing an over load for POL and not allowing connections.

Just wait it out some more.
