Laptops, school, FFXI, requirements... @_@
So I wanna bring FFXI to university to me this year. I tried last year but couldn't get the PS2 to hookup to the internet there. I would like to get my my laptop set up but i don't know if I have the requirements... This is what I have:

Windows XP
1.5 GHz Centrino processor
510 MB RAM
nVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 graphics card
DirectX Version 9.0c

Now what I can't find is my sound card. I just used the dxdiag run command to get this info. I tried running the bench mark 3 and got scores ranging from 7-900. I don't know what this means. lol Anyways any help would be really appreciated 'cuz I don't want to lose my character info again ><;



I may l'eggo your Eggo, but I'll be damned if I rolf your waffle...

Re: Laptops, school, FFXI, requirements... @_@
I know that my "adopted" son couldn't play ffxi in his dorm. He had to go to his g/f's and use the parents internet. ;P It has something to do with the port settings that the school used he said. Might be the same issue but its hard to say.



Some people are like Slinkys , totally useless but they still put a smile on your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Unfortunately, we assume that the specifications of your computer do not meet requirements to run FINAL FANTASY XI for Windows. If you have this score even though your computer meets the minimum system requirements, please adjust the software resident on your PC.
If your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements, please consider upgrading your machine.
Not looking good.

Further on what tgm said, a lot of schools block ports for games and p2p software these days. You have no way around that except to go to someone else's place to play.

Re: Laptops, school, FFXI, requirements... @_@
Before you upgrade call the university and ask them if they block any game-ports on there side, Ask then if they block any type of games. If not then upgrade and play. Most likley they do so you wont be able to play.

It could also be the Domain controller or Proxy Settings there too.

Re: Laptops, school, FFXI, requirements... @_@
Yea, I have a phone line. But, I don't use it >.>.

Also, I don't see how college campuses are so retarted (look in the main forum to see what i'm talking about). It's really annoying now a days that people are trying to block things like BT, and P2P programs, but when they do that, the SEVERLY limit what we can do.

Also, people will still get music (OurTunes), ect ect.
