Always disconnecting when choosing Ship Block

Hello guys!

I haven't been online in quite a while due to personal stuff. Now that I actually try to go online, it doesn't work.

It works perfectly fine (although a little... slower than what I'm used to) up until I get to choose which Block I want to go to - then, nothing happens for about 30 seconds until the "There's no connection available."-message appears, no matter which Ship/Block I choose.

I think it might have to do with the following: I recently moved away from my old town and with that, I got a new internet connection and a new modem. Both, however, are actually FASTER than my old one. Still, I think that this issue has to do with that.

I tried disabling both my Antivirus-Program as well as the Windows Firewall - didn't help. Do I have to open some specific ports, or anything? Tried running under Service Pack 2, without, running as admin, running without, everything... Nothing helps. Ah, and to add to the confusion, I once randomly was able to get online. Strange, huh? Ah, also, I'm on a wireless connection.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm no use in terms of help but I just wanted to say that I hope you get it working soon. will be nice to have you back :).
 
Might be possible that PSO is remembering your old connection settings and cant resolve a connection using those? I'm never sure with internet/connection related stuff, might be worth a try to reinstall (hopefully you remember your logins)...if that doesnt work try deleting the registry settings in regedit.
 
Ah, tried to include everyrhing in the starting post, but of course I forgot something

I reinstalled it twice already; didn't fix it, unfortunately.

Click to expand...
While pso doesn't cache anything network related, windows does so it could be.

Open a command prompt (as admin?) and type ipconfig /flushdns then enter

If that doesn't solve the issue, your antivirus, firewall (or ISP) might be blocking the connection.
You can test both your antivirus and firewall, just disable them temporarily... if after that you still can't...

I remember someone who had a problem of connections being blocked by some sort of security thing that he had to disable in some sort of "control panel" from his ISP's client area.
