My computer cannot find ftp.electrocity.exofire.net. Ive tryed in Dreamweaver and in IE. It WAS working in DW when I first setup the hosting. Windows firewall is off(vista), No other firewall software installed. Ports 21-22 are open on the router just in case and I can connect to other ftps in IE. ANy suggestions? BTW I also copied and pasted the ftp server name from the CPanel manual ftp settings page to avoid typos.

How long has it been since you set it up?

Work your way up the protocol stack. First, run `ping ftp.electrocity.exofire.net` from the command line to see if your computer can resolve the address and reach the server (you can also run `nslookup ftp.electrocity.exofire.net` just to test domain name resolution). After that, try different FTP clients, such as the command line program, Firefox or FileZilla, on both your site and other public FTP sites (ftp://ftp.loc.gov/, ftp://ftp.simtel.net/, ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/). Test both active and passive mode, but I suspect you'll need to use passive mode. Google can help you find how to set passive mode in Explorer.
