Hi, Lately I've been unable to connect to FTP sites. I've tried using Internet Explorer and the program FlashFXP. In FlashFXP, it gives the following messages,
Connecting to "the ftp site"
Connected to "the ftp site"
Connection failed (Connection lost)
In Internet Explorer, it looks like it's working, then I get the following message, "Windows Cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder. Details: The connection with the server was reset"
I've tried connecting to several different ftp sites, such as: ftp://ftp.ea.com/, ftp://ftp.freegames.org/, ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/, ftp://ftp.3com.com/, ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/
However if I open up the command prompt, I can ping these sites, and get a response back.
The second issue I've been having, is when I try to connect to my online stock account, it's also unable to connect. To connect to the stock account it uses a java based application. After I fill in my username and password and click login, it says Login in progress..., Login in progress...(attempt #2), etc. I was also able to use this program and FTP not more then a month ago.
Other then these two things, I haven't noticed any other problems. My internet works without problems, and I can connect to the other computers on my network. I ran spybot and adaware and cleaned up they few things they found. I ran the XP TCP/IP Repair program, and selected to Reset TCP/IP and Repair Winsock. I also ran hijackthis, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary but I can post the log if it would be helpful. I'm not sure what else to try.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
