FTP blues with new LAN connection

dammit!

2004-08-06, 12:15 pm

I've been using Dreamweaver MX to FTP files to the webserver with no problems
for a number of months.

Last night, we had an IT guy come in and swap over my Internet connection from
my PC modem to a connection routed through our company LAN.

Whilst I can access the web with no problems - when I try to FTP any website
files, I now get an FTP error message 'cannot make connection.'

Obviously, the new settings are having an effect - but can anyone suggest
where I need to look within Dreamweaver to re-establish my upload connection?
The IT guy is choosing not to answer the phone today...

I've looked in the Edit Site panels, and all the upload details to the
webserver are correct and remain unchanged.

All help gratefully received.
