I got served!, Damn DNS. Options

[AC9breaker]

So I finally saved up $20 for FFXI CoP. I go and sell 5 games and have enough left over to last me for the rest of the week. I get home install it then get ready to play. I'm sitting there waiting for the POL main menu to show it but it doesn'y come. It just keeps loading and loading and loading. I finally get an error message saying that The server is ether too busy or my connections are not correct. I immediatly run up to my ghetto cpu, and enter command prompt mode.

Type in ipconfig and get the values for my connect all of them show up but one...

connection specifc DNS suffix. The key element to playing online games. So now, im stuck here with a shiney new Cop already installed. Just needeing to be registered and played.

DAM YOU, YOU COMPUTER MAKERS AND COMPLEX TECHNOLOGY!


oh, I'm on cable connection. Im using an ethernet router and have everything set to auto configure. Tried rebooting it to, but no avail. Both the router and the modem. Don't know if that helps any.
