ftp02.powweb.com issues

[svsamana]

Can someone verify my challenges on ftp02.powweb.com !!!!

No issues with ftp02.powweb.com when I access my ftp thru webft.powweb.com.

However when I use Dreamweaver and or CuteTP I cannot connect. When I put a trace on it it tries to connect to cluster1.hitfarm.com (("Connecting ftp02.powweb.com (64.40.102.44)" IP address is not that of ftp02.powweb.com.

Anyone else has this problem on ftp02.powweb.com

(I can connect to ftp04.powweb.com with no problem)

It sounds as if either your ISP or your system has a screwed-up DNS entry for ftp02. It translates correctly for me.

Check to see if you have a "hosts" file in Windows (or WINNT)\system32\drivers\etc It should have no entries except for 127.0.0.1. There exists spyware/adware/worm/virus that puts entries in this file to redirect connections to their own servers.

I access ftp02 from a PowerbookG4 with the latest OSX software.

Now that I know you don't have any trouble, I'll try to dig a little deeper.

What does not make sense is that I can access ftp04.powweb.com without any trouble. Would spyware block that as well ??
