Copied from S-E's FFXI page:

Using a Router
PlayOnline (including all related software such as FINAL FANTASY XI) may use any of the following ports. If you are using a router, please configure it to allow packets to pass through these ports.

+ Port numbers that may be used by the PlayOnline server group:
-TCP 25, 80, 110, 443 or 50000 - 65535
-UDP 50000 - 65535

* You may need to set up a web browser for your PC. For more information, please refer to the appropriate vendor's instruction manual.

* Your router may require that you use a PC to configure your network settings. For more information about how to configure your network settings, please refer to the instruction manual that came with your router or contact the manufacturer directly.

* If your Internet Service Provider (ISP) specifies a DNS server, you may need to configure your settings to allow packets to pass through UDP Port 53 as well.

For more information, please refer to the instruction manual for your router or the information provided by your ISP.

Bah no luck- I open these ports and still get the error of -1160. I am using a Linksys Wireless router. If anyone has this router or can help me out that would be great! Thanks

Shoot.... Unfortunately, I have to recently re-install.

You need to set the router to begin accepting port connections once a port call out is made at a certain port. Basically it is a trigger port that would open the router to forward any incoming traffic to your computer like a DMZ to a specific computer.

Unfortunately, that data I have was stored on a hard drive that has since been recently formatted. Once I find out what the trigger port is (again), I'll post again to tell you which port your router needs to look for.
