FFXI Network IssuesFollow

A couple of days ago I decided to return to playing FFXI for a little bit, when I ran into some troubles. I have not been able to connect to POL for the third day straight now, and I do not know why. I constantly get the POL-0011 error message.

I have; no firewall, no router, completed a full virus and spyware scan, called my ISP to unblock all necessary ports, and finally, taken the Connection Test from the POL Config tool. On this test I scored 0% packet loss to the POL server, with no abnormal statistics. (good pings, etc.)

I have no idea what I should do, and I was wondering if anyone that knows much about networking could lend me a helping hand here. Free cookie to anyone that solves my problem for me!

-Thanks ahead of time.

EDIT: I realize that POL has been having issues lately, but everyone else has been able to connect for at least a little bit before they get booted from FFXI. I simply can't connect at all, over 3 days now.

I haven't played FFXI in about half a year, so many things could have changed.

Everything else works fine except for FFXI. I ran a file check through POL, nothing wrong. Contacted Square support about 4 times, each time got a different way to fix it. None has worked so far, now they had me email them a full connection test from the POL config.

Even though it looked fine to me, there might be something that they see thats wrong.

One can only pray. =(

Have already re-installed POL, maybe I'll give the service pack thing a try.

If it helps any, whenever I do a netstat right before I get the error, this is what I get:

pp000.pol.com:51220 SYN SENT

Then I get the error and its gone again. I'm pretty sure this is what I am unable to connect to? I have no idea, I'm pretty clueless about this stuff.
