Cannot log in on one character only after crash (POL-3001)

[Curejaa]

I had the same problem on two occurences:

1) Zoning into Castle Oztroja... same description as everyone else downloading data screen appears and then the FFXI-3001 error
This happened a while ago and I was able to move my character by logging into my character on my other PC on the same router/modem.

2) Zoning into Abyssea-Altep at first I was able to do what is stated above (use my other PC) but now I can't log into that zone from either PC and a friend must log me in if I go into those zones.

I tried everything from modem/router reset, port forwarding, called ISP, checked files and reinstalled the whole game. Nothing worked.
So now I avoid both these zones... but its frustrating if you have a quest involving one of these zones

I have been having the same problem since the last major update. I have never had this problem before then.

Ok to at least update you on my situation. Today comcast came and added a netgear router to the Dory hybrid. I kindly asked him to stay whilst i tested my issues. My wireless signal to my laptop went from 10mbps yesterday to 34-35mbps wireless today after adding this router. I logged onto FFXI and with him standing there (lol) proceeded to try and enter aby-altepa. This time my character got through just fine. Added note: my IP did not and was not changed today so leading me away from thinking the issue was IP related. Again this is MY experience that i've had.

long story short: Comcast added Netgear router to hybrid modem (DORY) and fixed my 3001 issue and i also get way faster connection now. IP address did not change.

I will be sure to post if i somehow get this issue again but with another zone. It would still be nice though to get some TRUE assistance from SE on this issue.

P.s. If any of you Comcast customers are using just the SMC (DORY) Hybrid........please ask them to come add a router. Even the techs say the DORY is absolute SHIT.

I've been retesting my character every few days. Just tried again and... success! No new modem/router here. Is anyone else still having issues?

If any staff at SE did work to resolve this, thank you very much. It is greatly appreciated!
