* FlashFXP v[3].[4], build [1145], [x]registered, [ ]unregistered, [ ]pirated
* OS [x] WinXP, [ ] Win2K, [ ] Win98, [ ] WinME, [ ] Other
* Running behind NAT/router [x] Yes & Model [Software freeBSD 5.2.1], [ ] No, [ ] Not sure
* Running firewall [ ] Yes, Name [ ], Ver. [ ], or [x] No
* Running Antivirus [ ] Yes, Name [ ] or [x] No
* Network [ ] xDSL, [x] CABLE, [ ] Dail-Up, [ ] Other

I have also seen this problem, again using SOCKS5. I've determined it is caused whenever a site entry is specified by a hostname rather than an IP. When attempting to connect one of 2 things will happen:

1) Multiple echos of SOCKS: Connecting to hostname.com

ort
followed by nothing, software doesn't hang but doesn't actually connect either.

2) flashfxp will close and return to desktop.

This has only happened since updating to 3.4, with 3.2 I could connect to the exact same sites with no problems, changing the entry for a site from the dns name to its IP allows me to connect with 3.4

Nothing else has been changed except updating from 3.2->3.4 , all other aspects of ftp sites, networking and OS setup is unchanged.
