1153 ? Connection issue to update server. To fix, update the firmware on your router.
Are you behind a firewall or are you useing a router? If so you will need to set it up.
PORTS settings and problems FAQ
Also what error were you geting from your harddrive?

Re: pol error: 1153

Well I have windows firewall on now, thats more than likely the problem. (I mentioned it in this thread: http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/gam...-gameplay.html

Will I be alright to run my computer without a firewall and just my antivirus on?

Re: pol error: 1153

It would be best not to.
If I'm remembering correctly Zone Alarm is not very hard to set up and is far better then the firewall included with windows xp sp2.

You know what download HD Tune, looking at your other posts if your memory checked out fine maybe your hard drive is having issues.

Also if you did not check your memory already download memory test 86+ And take a look at this page for some directions on how to use memory test 86+.

I just did a quick scan with HD Tune, everything seems fine with it. Gonna try Zone Alarm and shut off windows firewall, I hope that solves everything.
