Gambit,
I am totally sure that the firewall and router has nothing to do with this
problem, I can use the application to connect to various other servers
without any errors it is only this on server that i cannot connect to and
gives me the error 'Socket Error # 10038 Socket operation on non-socket.'
this happens when i run it through the debugger and as i step through it
gets to the connect() line and when i try and step pass the connect() this
error occurs.
Like i said i can connect to it using ACE FTP program but also i cannot
connect to the server if i use ftp://81.138.175.17 in internet explorer
version 6 with all latest updates/patches
Try yourself the server ip is 81.138.175.17
