I'm not sure what would cause this, you could try explicitly allowing FlashFXP in Windows Firewall, or adding/removing any existing rules and re-adding them.
I guess I should have also stated that I tried disabling Windows Firewall and got the same results. I also tried after installing Comodo Internet Suite (which includes a firewall), as is on the XP drive, and still got the same results. Also, as I mentioned, I couldn't connect to the server through Windows Explorer on the Win 7 drive. That's why I don't think it's a Flash FXP issue.
I too find this issue quite strange. I'm not a novice computer user but I figured it might be some setting in Win 7, which I'm not familiar with yet, that is causing this. I thought maybe someone here might have some advice.
I will try allowing FlashFXP in the firewall, but I have a sneaking suspicion it won't make any difference.

It wasn't the session logs I was trying to post. It was the text from the Status window within FlashFXP. The session logs didn't really give any noticeable relevant information.
It was probably all the [R]'s and x's I used to block out the IP address that the forum didn't like, indicating there were too many tags. 20 too many to be exact, according to the error message I got.
I've attached the text files, if you think it will help any.

Edit 1: I tried adding FlashFXP to the allowed list in Windows Firewall and still no good.
I wonder if it's a Comcast issue or even a server issue blocking ftp connections from Win 7? I'll contact the server tech and see what he says, although I can't see how the server could be blocking Win 7 ftp connections when it's just fine in XP.

Edit 2: I think I figured out the problem. A while back I raised the security level in my router firewall to medium. I just went back in and lowered it back to low level and I was able to connect to my server with FlashFXP.
Strange that I have to have a lower security level for the firewall in my router for Win 7 than for XP.
