It is almost impossible for that particular error to be occuring without
some kind of external influence. If a firewall and router are not the
cause, the only other possibilities are anti-virus (yes, they can interfere
with sockets) or a corrupted socket stack inside the OS.

Did you try stepping INTO the source code for connect() rather than just
past it?

Then the problem is not limited to Indy only, and is indicitive of a more
general problem on your machine. Have you tried connecting from other
machines?

I cannot connect to that server with any FTP client.
