bleh, it seems my problem is much more systemic than I thought. I tried connecting to sylverant to test it as you suggested but no avail. I really feel like I'm inputting the correct numbers but still error 102, and when reverting to automatic ip in DCHP settings, now I fail to create IP from DHCP in the pso website/hunter's license.
I guess my problem is really that my TAP adapter always shows as unplugged. I thought being "online" under the hunter license page with manual DHCP meant something but I maybe it was just the illusion of TAP working. When I had a hyper-v virtual switch my tap adapter would show as plugged in after an error 15 connect, but then the game would crash when trying to resolve DNS. Thanks for the help, I guess I'm going back to the drawing board for now.
edit: sorry for asking for help then disappearing, I'm waiting to set up a clean w7 x64 install or perhaps try on another network to eliminate as many variables possible.
