No longer able to connect

For some reason I am unable to play anymore Nothing has changed on my system or with my internet everything is the same as it always was but every time I try and run the game I get "11023 Unable to access server for version check.
(3:20455,19900,12152)"

I have uninstalled and re-installed 3 times now I have tried using a different account and nothing seems to work! this has been happening for last 2 days now.

documents / my games / final fantasy ffxiv / delete everything except the "user" folder. Run the FFXIVConfig program. Try again.

done and Nothing lol

There has been an update a few days ago. Change the content of game.ver to 2011.08.16.0000

but if the games not connecting after a re-install doing this will not allow me to play as the games not patched?

The patch probably did get applied but some files sometimes fail to get updated. The only way to avoid this is to manually remove the write protection from all files in the ffxiv folder before every update.
But first you should try to disable UPnP in the ffxiv config.

Sorry I don't think you read it right I have re-installed 3 times now and this is what I get so there is no patch applied and I can't get it to patch even if I manually download them

Did you disable UPnP as I suggested?

yep even re-added the ports to the router and the firewall lol

Also just to check the only thing that dose update is the updater it updates to version 2010.09.18.0000 is that the right version.
My current game version is 2010.07.10.0000 (due to it being a fresh install again :) )

game.ver should be 2011.08.16.0000, boot.ver 2010.09.18.0000 and patch.ver 1.18b after it's done patching.

edit:
Did you also delete the ffxiv folder in your username/my documents/my games folder before reinstalling the game?
