Are you using a router? Have you tried passive mode?

Yes PASV will more than likely fix the problem. Also is your friends directory permission set up right? I have seen an ftp return odd errors for mismanaged permissions before. (example: using virtual paths with the wrong "/" switches)

Also, if you haven't - try using http://www.smartftp.com/

Try to connect with it right out of the box, it is a very intutive free (pay if you want) client.

Well, you can always use a web-based FTP client like http://www.net2ftp.com at times like this.

Holy cow, it still will not working for you. What all have you tried since your last post? Me thinks Wiping and reloading is way drastic for this problem. What other problems are you experiencing, if any?

Is it timing out, are you getting errors codes/messages?

Could it be your firewall?, what new software have you downloaded or upgraded since you were able?

Update:

1. I get a timeout
2. Don't have firewall on
3. SP2 install still no luck lol
4. Web base FTP works

(no good for uploading or downloading 500mb's lol
5. Reinstall Lan Card
6. No new Hardware added
7. No software was installed (that i know of
8. Virus scanned
8. Spy-ware Scanned

weird :S
