ok, does anyone know if FFXI uses TCP 3724? the reason i ask is i'm the only one working in my apartment and paying all the bills. my g/f cousin is living with us and he's too lazy to go get a job, and just recently started playing WoW on a shared PC in the living room. 1) first and foremost, it lags me and my g/f when we're playing FFXI which is a no-no 2) when others need to use the computer, its alway just a sec, which could be hours. i read that i can block WoW through the router on that port, but don't wanna interfere with FFXI. anyone know?

***sorry, was reading too quick and misread the question. Lemme do some diagnostics to check the XI ports real quick.
