Yes I am trying to connect from home, over my ntl line, using my original ntl password. I am pretty clear it is not an ntl problem, because none of the methods for connecting to server - dos command, IE Explorer, Terrapin, Frontpage, Publisher - will connect to server. I never get as far as putting in a password. So I guess it is something my end blocking the connection. But what?? Is anyone aware of anything in network settings that could prevent connection?

I run a pretty bog standard PC XP pro that fires up and connects to internet first time every time. I have no problems browsing, downloading, etc. Only when I try to connect to webspace server. I have similar difficulties connecting to non ntl webspace servers, but that gets complicated by not knowing whether connections not through their lines are allowed.

I won't die if I don't find an answer, but it bugs me to be beaten!
