Hey.
Can someone help me out? I play on the ps2, and I use a Linksys wireless-B router and the wireless-B game adaptor. I can't get past the initial connection when I start up POL, and apparently I'm not the only one that's had this problem lately. I guess it satrted last week. I'm having withdrawels...please, someone help me. FFXI is crucial to my existance. I'm dying...help me...

POL 1040 error code...this is so rediculous...Follow
Check this out..
This was taken from here. Apparently they had some issues with people's Wireless Routers assigning DHCP to get on POL. I would suggest this..
Go here --> http://www.linksys.com/download/
This will take you to Linksys' driver/firmware download section. Download the latest firmware revision for your device. This should fix the problem. I have the same wireless router and this fixed the problem for me. It should work for you. If that doesn't do the trick let me know. Good luck!!
