FTP Timeout in Dreamweaver 8

I've had an issue occur twice now with the trial version of Dreamweaver 8 where
it will stop connecting to the current server that I'm working in because of
ftp timeouts. However, I'm able to connect to other servers/sites without
closing the program and reopening it.

The strange thing is that I can no longer go to the website I was working on
via a browser without getting the same timeouts. And I cannot access email from
that domain name without getting timeouts. And I can't connect via another FTP
program as well, unless it's on a different machine.

The first time I was able to fix this by connecting to another site's server
in Dreamweaver and transfer a few files. That same trick isn't working this
time. It's as if there is a file stuck between my computer's ftp port and the
port from the server. I am able to connect to the site on other computers in
the same network. I believe this emerging issue is occuring locally, because
when I take my computer to the office it's still stuck and give me timeout
issues. It has only occured when using the "Put" feature to upload a file I'm
working on in the document window of Dreamweaver 8.

I've opened a discussion with tech support, but I wanted to get a second
opinion from other users as to what I might be able to do to fix the problem.

Your firewall is the problem.

Murray,

Thank you. I did some more investigating with my firewall, and Black Ice (what
I use) interpreted it as an attack. Strange! I never had a problem with
Dreamweaver '04, so I figured it was a DW8 exclusive issue. I went into Black
Ice and whitelisted my server, so it's working again.

Thanks again!

You're welcome.
