Cannot Connect on Home Network, but other PC's are ok

[dgsmith1]

Hello everyone,
Here is my setup
* FlashFXP v[3].[2], build [1080], [x]registered, [ ]unregistered, [ ]pirated
* OS [x] WinXP, [ ] Win2K, [ ] Win98, [ ] WinME, [ ] Other
* Running behind NAT/router [x] Yes & Model [Linksys WRT54GS], [ ] No, [ ] Not sure
* Running firewall [ ] Yes, Name [ ], Ver. [ ], or [x] No -- Windows XP firewall turned off
* Running Antivirus [x] Yes, Name [McAfee] or [ ] No
* Network [ ] xDSL, [x] CABLE, [ ] Dail-Up, [ ] Other

Problem:
I cannot ftp to an IP address from one single laptop that other PC's in my house can access with no issue (other ones are running flashfxp too, same version and build). When I hit connect, it seems to recognize the username, but will not accept the password. I thought it was a wireless issue, but my other laptop has no problem. I have reinstalled the software and tried to match my problem laptop setup with the one that works. Nothing seems different.

obvious question, you sure login/password are correct and server isn't limiting ips

[dgsmith1]

triple checked password is correct, logged in from different machine Made sure no other computer logged in when I attempted to log in. I checked firewall setting in winxp and though disabled it shows flashfxp as an exception. I also disabled mcafee antivirus and still cannot log in.

This morning, the error was different (first time I have seen this):
[R] Connecting to 192.168.0.104 -> IP=192.168.0.104 PORT=21
[R] Connection failed (10055: No buffer space available)

Rebooted the laptop:
Back to the previous error where it gets hung at the password.

Comparing the pc's that work to the one that does not:
- non working one has checkpoint vpn software installed - haven't tried disabling yet since I need it to connect to work
- non working one has Odessy running the wireless card, I disabled and had winxp take over - still have the problem

Hi,
I used a second laptop that I verified I have the same issue. It happens to have Checkpoint vpn software and Odessey running the wireless, so its a virtual duplicate setup of the laptop with the problem. I uninstalled the vpn client. Now flashfxp will connect without issue.

So it seems I have isolated the problem to the Checkpoint VPN software.
Software version: R56
Build: 619

Is there a known problem? Any workarounds? I don't have the option on my primary laptop to remove this since I have to have it for work.

Thanks
