Disconnecting Every Minute Or So?

Long title thread, I know. But it sums up my problem. I'm disconnecting from JUST FFXI every minute or so. I have my 360 and my computer right next to each other and I could be doing something like playing CoD4 on my 360 while playing FFXI on my computer, and I ONLY get disconnected from FFXI on my computer. I have no problem playing anything else. I messaged playonline and got this in response



I have done as suggested and nothing has worked. From what I can tell, it's a problem with my router since plugging right into my modem worked fine, but that's not a solution since I have other people who share my internet.


tl;dr yea yea

hum de dum <_<

yea I get R0 here n there sometimes. Everytime i do tho it's R0 every 5-10sec for 10-15min... pisses my party mates off and one party eventually kicked me cause they "thought I was going to d/c on purpose".

I wish SE would fix this cause I miss out on campaign battle experience sometimes.

Tho you know they won't man cause of course it's just OUR internet service provider, there servers are running fine...

The other night I kept getting R0 over and over and over, and no, it was not my Internet, because I could browse online just fine. It was no big deal, though, since I was just mining, but I can see where it would be a major hassle if I were in a pt or something. 8(

I too find myself getting frequent R0's, but never to a point that I'm disconnected. It's just a frequent stream of R0s one after another every 10-15 minutes for about an hour. I don't know whats causing it, but I do know its not on my end.

Oddly enough, FFXI requires very little bandwidth as you can play on dial up, but it does require constant and consistent connection speeds to maintain the R rates.

maybe someone has guessed your POL ID, and is in the process of attempting to password generate your account?

Are you getting R0s or simply getting kicked off, and during some of those phases of being away are you unable to log back in for 30min or so? I hope not, as it would be indicative of someone nefarious acting against your account.

Cross your fingers and hope it's just the servers and everything will be fixed on the 10th of November =3

R/0 a few times in the last 30 minutes.

This ***has killed me prolly 20 times farming goobers in the Tree on BST.

I just got frustrated and logged in Konschat Highlands.

I think it's a problem with the cat5 cable that i'm using to connect to my router. I switched to a wireless adapter on my computer and I don't get disconnected anymore, but I still get disconnected on my 360.

I get R0 in MH even. Bought new router/cables and still same issue. Died otherday in Mire pulling an imp. I was dead before the lag stopped. There was only 6 people in the Mire. My party peoples all got lag spike also. I dont ever recall having this problem prior to a month ago.

Someone at SE headquarters spilled coffee on the servers.

Alright I switched out cables and I have yet to disconnect from ffxi...

SE: "it's not us! it's da internet!"

that's pretty much what they told me ><


Btw: Yea. The reason for me getting completely disconnected was the wires I was using to connect to the router were old or something. I switched wires and now i'm just getting the quick R0's that everyone else is getting. So... back to normal <_<
