Could you provide some more details?

What exactly is happening? Are you getting connection refused, timeouts etc etc?

Do you have a firewall running (either on the PC or in a router)?

That including the windows firewall?

Are you possibly using ICS or anything like that at all?
Have you tried removing and reinstalling your FTP servers?

ive turned off the windows firewall, im not using LCS ( I dont actually know what it is but im pretty sure im not using it) and yeh i have tried reinstalling it several times and setting it up again but to no avail.

Does it work locally, i.e. on the PC you are running the ftp server on ? What ftp server are you using ?

Re: Cant set up ftp server on ntl 10mb connection.
 

try to connect to ftp://127.0.0.1

are you sure your entering your correct ip, not your net ip?

unless your pc is turned off at the moment you do appear to have somekind of firewall software running....
