Yet another person with connection problems...

Hello! I'm really having a hard time figuring out what the heck I'm doing wrong over here. I even did the 'test' ftp site (at->> ftp.netscape.com) that someone had suggested in another forum... and it worked! I even looked at the windows xp posts and took off my firewall, opened the port (21), and everything... and yet... still no connection with my IP address for here!

If you can, please tell me what's wrong? I'll be forever grateful...

Here is my error messege (the first part includes when I connected sucessfully to the netscape ftp):

esolving ftp.netscape.com...

Please help me if you can!

Btw, my connection also doesn't work on other ftp programs... lol I tried...

Ok, since the connection to ftp.netscape.com is working, the machine you're connecting from does not seem to be the problem. The problem seems to lie with the machine you're trying to connect to, the 192.101.250.250 machine.

Is there an FTP server running on the machine with IP address 192.101.250.250?
Is the server accepting connections on port 21?

Since you cannot connect with any other client as well, this might be a server problem and not a client problem.

I am at a college with a network system... do you think that could be the problem? I'll ask them myself, though...
thanks a lot!

Thanks, I will!

Oh, btw... who do I contact for that?? The people who give my internet network? Or a certain 'company' or something that deals only with FTP things?
