Homealone: my problem isn't strictly FTP related, it affects all uploading from my machine to the internet. My NTL webspace has exactly the same problem, as I thought it would. Tracert has no problems getting through, but I'm inexperienced with tracert and don't know exactly what I should be looking for; here's the output:

Mick: I'll try removing ZoneAlarm, but I seem to recall the problem happening before I first started using it.
Oh, forgot to mention: It probably isn't a Windows problem, as I've reformatted and reinstalled my entire PC at least once, and that's failed to fix the problem. In fact, I've used a bootable Linux distro and had the same problem.... damn, why didn't I remember that?! This now suggests to me that it's a hardware, rather than software, problem - and if it is, it'll either be my STB (which NTL swear is working perfectly) or my on-board Ethernet card.
Tell me, can I ring up NTL and request that they send me a cable modem instead of using my STB to connect?

Right, ZoneAlarm isn't the cause - it's been uninstalled and the problem's still there.
If only I had access to another computer, I could test it out with my connection and see if it's my computer's hardware that's at fault - but I have no friends with laptops, or ones that would be willing to lug their system unit around.
