OT - Website problems - help needed!

All,

I am having problems with my webpages, or in particular, uploading files to them via FTP. The problem comes when I try to connect to Oldengine.org, I get the message "IP Address not known" - unable to connect.

Is this a problem with oldengine.org, or me? I have tried 2 different internet connections at my end, broadband and dial up, but to no avail. The oldengine.org site does not appear to be down either as I can view the pages okay.

Any ideas any techies out there?

Many Thanks

Hi Chris, I can't get access to my site either. Must be a problem with the site.

looks like it's trying to authenticate your own IP address and can't; the ftp server's running but someone's messed up the authentication setup...

You need to find whoever actually runs the site and give them a prod :)

cheers

I'm no expert as many witnesses will testify:-) However I never did manage to persuade WS FTP to work with broadband. A Google search will turn up many discussions of this issue. All offer potential fixes and work-rounds. Tried em all without success! regards Roland

Well, as a ley observer who might recognise my computer's carb and even understand how it works in an academic way, but still be unable to change the settings (sic!). I did a Google search, added WWW and got straight in (Telewest Broadband) to the oldengine.org site at 10.56 this morning. Its features all seem to work OK.

Dunno guv, just reporting in ;o))

Did you check out your Firewall settings?

Hi Roland, For future reference, your problem could have been that you weren't running in passive mode. In the preferences box for the ftp site you're configuring, make sure PASV is checked.

When I went from dialup to DSL, all my ftp programs died until some tech chick explained it to me.
