Are you sure that you are connected to the net ok, ie can you check your e mails or do you get an error there too ?

Ok try pinging this addy  xxxxxxxx  :)
If it pings ok then try ftp://xxxxxxx in browser and see if you get a log on box up or an error ???



Edited to remove the IP addy  ;)

Ok so that means that your internet connection is ok  ???
Have a look in the TCP/IP bit again and see what other protocols you can enable and also if you have multiple TCP/IP remove all but one of them  :)

Worth checking to see that you haven't inadvertently blocked access to/from port 80 with your firewall (I did this the other day and kept getting problems). FTP would have used port 21.
hey promised the earth! Then delivered mud.
Technically it did meet the spec.

Thought I'd let you know how useful HP have been...

"Ok. I rgert the occurence. Do you have any issue with any other program?"

To which I told them no but I'll have an issue with your company if you don't sort this out!

HMM!  >:(
