I tried to log on and got an error where my DNAS was not being recognized. Now, your DNAS is supposed to be automatically set. I remember having the problem with this during the last update when I was off FFXI for two days. I remember calling SE and explaining the problem. The SE rep said the problem was with my ISP. I then informted him that I would for that ISP (being Comcast). Dead silence. Then he gave me a DNAS server to connect to directly. I put that in and linked up. Between then and now, I switched my DNAS back to automatic. After trying a few times tonight, I switched it back to the DNAS and now I am getting the busy instead of not able to locate DNAS server.
Here is my theory.
SE temporarily disconnects some of the DNAS IP addresses to allow people with slower connections (i.e AOL, Earthlink, DSL) to connect while us who have a cable connect suffers. I know this might sound crazy to alot of you but when massive amount of people suddenly get booted, we are all cable subscribers whether its Comcast, Time Warner, etc.
Once again, call me crazy but I think I am on to something here.
