Ok,

Tried the following setup:

Motorola Surfboard 3100 modem connected directly to:

a) A linux laptop
b) a winXP-SP2 desktop

Trying each in turn, both had the same problem....

"connection timed out" when trying to FTP to the remote server. After about 30 minutes the laptop was able to reconnect, after 30 minutes the desktop was still unable to reconnect.

Both were still able to FTP to upload.ntlworld.com.

During this period the server was running fine (I accessed it from another office using VNC to run a FTP client from a PC at the other office).

Rebooting both the cable modem and the client did not make the problem go away.

Please can someone come up with some ideas.....

The only conclusion I can reach is that for some reason after some 2 years of perfect service, the NTL network has been changed or is casuing these problems.

Anybody ?
