Client hangs on downloading data

[askray]

OS -
CentOS 6 32bit (linux all the way for servers! )

So the issue is my console is being spammed with -

Code: Select all

I've checked the zoneip (normal ip = 184.82.244.47 Decimal ip = 804541112) and it's correct (obviously or else it wouldn't even connect to the game server hehe), i've recompiled it with the latest version, ran a check files on the client and let it download updates but still no go

This is a VPS hosted so it's not on my LAN so kinda out of ideas what it could possibly be

Common issue, key is out of sync. Wait 3-5 min and try again.

I've done that. I've also waited 24 hours, used multiple accounts, different characters same issue

Next thing I'm doing this weekend is uninstalling and reinstalling the entire game as i've also done check files, repatching etc.

for me Local Lans this means the Server is Firewalled. or ports are not forwarded correctly.

As I stated this isn't a LAN server, this is a VPS hosted server. There is no firewall, thats enabled at this point and, obviously, the ports don't need to be forwarded.

Made sure the Data folder is moved from Playonline Folder, to the Final Fantasy XI folder (the one with the ROM folders) ?

Yep. after I send key it fails. And you said your zoneip is set in SQL?
Ignore the number I gave you, you were right.. I mis-wrote it.
