Connection refused

[Leonie Hines]

Ok, so here's the deal.. FXP has been working wonderful for me and I've installed the latest version and all that but all of a sudden it wont let me connect to anything..

I don't have a firewall
I've disabled the XP firewall
I don't have Zone Alarm or anything similar

Everything was working fine yesterday.. can someone help me please?

Thanks,
Leonie

does everything else seem to work, etc web browser, mail?

What version/build of FlashFXP are you using?

try connecting to ftp.microsoft.com?

[Leonie Hines]

Yep.. everything else works

Tried microsoft.. doesn't work either

I've got version 2.0 Build 906

[MidKnight]

are you using any perticular settings in

F6>Proxy/Firewall/Indent

?

[Leonie Hines]

Nope, nothing at all

[MidKnight]

have you tried to use another FTP client to see what happens?

[Leonie Hines]

Nope, but I've tried using my browser as well to get into the ftps but I can't do that either

[MidKnight]

then in that case, its not a FlashFXP problem at all, but a configuration problem else where.

FTP that u have tried so far, are they all using the same port number, or some are differant that u have tried to connect too?

[Leonie Hines]

Most of them are different port numbers but the ones I'm trying to get into are all the same

I figured it's not flashxp's problem.. just wanting to know what on earth it is

[MidKnight]

have you made any system changes to your system before this happened?

is your modem connected straight to your machine, any network involved

[Leonie Hines]

Nope.. no systems changes at all and yes, the modem is connected to me

[MidKnight]

mmm well im not really sure. your ISP wouldn't be blocking FTP protocols by any chance?

[Leonie Hines]

I doubt it.. their site is ne I'm trying to connect to.. and I have an FTP on that people are downloading from without problems..

[Leonie Hines]

Just to cover bases I reinstalled it and it's still giving me issues.. can someone please help?

[MidKnight]

yeah i wouldn't have bothered with a reinstall as its not a flashfxp problem, seeing you said you tried using your browser with the same problem.

Are you sure you have no type of firewall running?

[Leonie Hines]

No firewall at all :confused:

[Leonie Hines]

Still can't get things running :( I'm really stuck here, can anyone help?

[Leonie Hines]

Found the problem.. an evil virus

thanks for your help.. if anyone else has the problem you now have a clue hehe

[MidKnight]

good you found out. very interesting virus that it knocked FTP sessions out, what type of virus was it?

[aCe2k]

w32.FBI

lol :D :D ;)

[Leonie Hines]

It was some sort of webpage virus, comes from pop ups

[MidKnight]

wouldn't be anything with a name like i.frame.download or something along these lines?

[Leonie Hines]

It was something involved with IGetNet or something

[MidKnight]

mmm ok. well thanks for letting us know. oh btw, what AV scanner picked this up for you?

[Leonie Hines]

I think it was norton

[MidKnight]

thanks
