bizzare connection problem system wide
 

FlashFXP v2.0 Release Candidate 3 and v1.4.2 running under Windows 2000

WinSock 2.0
Connecting to [my site, aol, microsoft, adobe, etc]
Connection failed (10061:Connection refused)

I always get the above error, it wont even try to connect. packet count does increase. at first i was on behind a router, then enabled virtual DMZ, still nothing, disconnected it and now I have a straight connection. and still i get the same thing, reboots results in same error.

tried passive settings, DNS names, direct ip adresses...still nothing.

odd part is running cmd.exe and using ftp commands wont let me connect ither....however using IE6 connects fine. also tried using cuteftp and thats a no go and is uninstalled.

i uninstalled IIS 5 a few days ago, but i fail to see the correlation...I also have Zone Alarm Pro 3 but is not enabled unless i manually run it

anyhow any suggestions ???

thanx in advance

UPDATE: there was a service running called TrueVector Internet Monitor, this is linked to Zone Alarm, so I disabled the service, and now the cmd ftp commands work...but unfortunatlly FlashGXP doesn't.

I uninstalled the beta and went back to 1.8.3 Build 835 but still same problem.

any suggestions?

UPDATE : u know what that zone alarm service was the culprit...i can connect to intel, microsoft, aol, etc. I was trying to connect to my server and my server is down cause of that damn hurricane Lilly...hopefully lose of power and such will be restored soon with no damage.

i'm not sure but it sounds like you are running older version of ZoneAlarm. they were supposed to fix bunch of problems that apeared when using FlashFXP.(or did they break their truevector again?:))

my version is 3.0.118 the latest is 3.1.395 ...but odds are the true vector service would still be incorperated in this release since its not a huge jump between versions

upgrade..there are fixes :)

I been using ZA for a while when ffxp on v1.0, don't have any problem with it, unless I can't noticed.

keep it up guys :D
