Pol-0250

Khaeos · 08-03-2006, 11:16 AM

I'm trying to update FFXI. It starts to prepare the update, and then when it hits a certain mark in the 9800-9900 its gives me POL-0250...cannot reach Server. It doesn't do it at any time before that.

Is it something with my ports? Or is it something with the FFXI server or a mix of both?

It's either your internet connection and/or the server is dropping you. Might want to try wait a bit or do this on off-peak hours.

My bet is that you all have a Linksys router with built-in firewall. If not, try the following thread:

An ugly workaround for the linksys router is to log in to the router and disable the firewall under the security settings whenever you want to use the PlayOnline Viewer or play FFXI. Just make sure to have at least a software firewall installed and running on your comp and to re-enable your router firewall when done playing.

I got this to work by going to the network settings in PlayOnline (where you chose the account you wanna use to connect) and turning on the uPnP and Connection Check (latter has nothing to do with this issue, I think). Then just reboot!
Hope you guys are as lucky as me! ;D

I would imagine if they're all still trying to get it to work after more than a year, luck isn't the greatest of their concerns.

Kinda meant that they are as lucky as me by getting it to work with the changes I recommended..
