I've been having this problem for the past couple of weeks.

I log in and navigate POL viewer just fine, but I can't seem to log into FFXI. It stops at "Setting up connection" until it times out.

I'm thinking it's the ISP because I've attempted to log in at my g/f's house and a friend's house w/ the same ISP...

Hurray for crappy on-base internet...

Dunno if anyone can assist here - I live in Kadena AB, Okinawa using Mediatti as my ISP, if that helps some. xD
