Playonline Viewer Unresponsive

Hello,

I am having an issue with the Playonline Viewer. I have tested this both on Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. When I click "next" after opening POL, it becomes unresponsive and everything just freezes up. The only way I can turn things back to normal is if I close POL through task manager. I've tried to let it update, but it is extremely unresponsive and slow, occasionally getting a POL-1160 error.

It didn't act up like this a few months ago when I was playing FFXI. I've even rolled back my graphics card driver to see if it would work and it didn't.

I have a GTX 660, 4GB RAM, AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.40 GHz, Windows 8.1/7 x64.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I solved this issue. I needed to open specific ports for FFXI in my router settings.
