I suspect it's an issue with Comcast because I have no issues playing any other games - Shrugs- But like I said I'll investigate further tonight, if I find or figure out a fix so people in my situation don't need to use a vpn, I'll post it.
My girlfriend is having the same problem! She can play FF14 anywhere else, but when she went home to play, she has Comcast, she got the 2002 error. Please keep us updated if you find a fix. She already talked to Comcast and they told her everything was ok on their end (supposedly), so who knows.
