Trying to log into Phoenix.

After selecting a character, next screen gets to "Notifying lobby server of current selection". The progress bar stops. The message "Error code: FFXi-3305. Unable to connect to world server. Specified operation failed."

Pressing "OK" returns to the window "Select a character to log on with."

Like original poster, http://www.playonline.com/pcd/service/ff11usindex.html reports Phoenix server is up.
