Connection Attempt Timed Out (3 posts)

  I can not connect to any FTP's. The dog runs for awhile and then I get an error that says "Error: the connection attempt timed out".
  I have changed the firewall preference to PASV, and have attempted to connect to FTP sites using Transmit 1.7. Nothing is working.

  I have OS9 Macintosh G3 tower, and a cable modem w/comcast cable.

  Fetch Transcripts read the following:
  Fetch 4.0.3 System 0x922 Serial FETCHFL001-BAT9-G05A TR
  Using USER with no logon (aka USER user@host) proxy server host:proxy, port:8080, userid:
  Connecting to proxy port 8080 (9/8/03 11:13:26 AM)
  Using USER with no logon (aka USER user@host) proxy server host:proxy, port:8080, userid:
  Connecting to proxy port 8080 (9/8/03 11:18:42 AM)

  Could it be a problem with my internet connection? I have no other internet connection problems. Any advise you could give me would be helpful.

  Thank you.

  I would suggest setting the Proxy Type pop-up menu in the Firewall section of Fetch Preferences to None. What does the transcript look like then?

  Thanks,
