When I try that hostname (www3.sympatico.ca) I get a connection refused error -- it looks like there's some problem with the server (or perhaps they are blocking my connection because I'm not a Sympatico ISP customer). You might ask Sympatico whether they know of a problem contacting your server. Another thing to try is connecting to other servers (e.g. ftp.fetchsoftworks.com, leave the User ID and Password fields blank) to verify that your Internet connection is working fine.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply Jim. I tried ftp.fetchsoftworks.com and connected right away so I'm happy to see Fetch is not the cause of my problem. When I contacted Sympatico they confirmed their servers have been down for several hours and that they're working to correct the situation.

Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.
