Connection Refused?

[sharm]

* FlashFXP v3.4.0, Build 1145 Registered: single user license
* OS: WinXP
* Running behind NAT/router: yes Model: BelkinG plus MIMO Router
* Running firewall: No
* Running Antivirus: Yes Name: AVG Anti Virus
* Network: DSL

-----------------------------------------------------------

This morning, I updated to the latest version of Flash FXP.
I have found, that I cannot connect to ANY of my sites listed in Site Manager. I have not made any changes to the details inputted into Site Manager since update.
Before update, I never had any connection problems and have been very happy using FlashFXP.

Error message I recieve is:

WinSock 2.0 -- OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006
[R] Connecting to Amid The Stars -> DNS=hosting4.123-reg.co.uk IP=195.224.48.69 PORT=21
[R] Connection failed (10061: Connection refused)
[R] Delaying for 120 seconds before reconnect attempt #1

-----------------------------------------------------------

Can someone please assist me in why I all of my connections are being refused? I have never had connection problems before, until after upgrade this morning.

I look forward to hearing from you.

sounds like some firewall is blocking flashfxp from making connections.
maybe your AVG antivirus has some firewall feature that you are not aware of.

I have closed all AVG processes and have never had a firewall running anyway.
The problem is still persisting. I recieve the same error message.

This is the message I recieve for all my sites, not just Amid The Stars, so I know it is not a hosting issue.

Please could someone advise me as to how to rectify this problem.
