I am having the same issue. Do you know how to allow traffic on port 80, 443, and 667? For me is says PotCO is on Port 80.

This error comes up so much I can't even make one run with my Ship.

Depends on your firewall really. If youre using only the Windows Firewall in WinXP, go to Control Panel>Windows Firewall>Exceptions Tab>Add Program, check to see if Pirates of the Caribbean Online is in the exception list. If not, use the browse button to find the launcher (usually C:\Program Files\Disney\Disney Online\PiratesOnline\Launcher1.exe) and add it. Do the same with the listed ports, check and add as needed. The port dialog box will ask for a type (set it to TCP), name, and a port; the name isnt so important, just give it something that helps you identify it (TCP port 667 would be good for port 667).

If youre using a different firewall, I can only suggest you read the documentation that came with it.

Configuring a router to forward/trigger the ports may or may not help, but if you're up for trying I recommend using these guides if you're not sure how.
