I'd first turn off the firewall entirely and try ftp, if ftp works then dig
into the firewall settings.
| wininet.dll is a system library that is used to do all sorts of
| internet-related activities by the OS. IE and other programs make calls to
| it to perform certain functions. It could have been modified by IE, though
| I'm unsure. Unfortunately, I can't think of what I did to get FTP and
other
| publishing to work again. I would open my Firewall up for long enough to
| publish, then I would toy with adding some additional programs to the list
| of programs that had exceptions to the firewall and could communicate when
| it was on.
|
| While I'm thinking of it, something to try would be to go through the list
| of programs that are an exception to the firewall rule. If you go to
Control
| Panel | Network Connections | Right-click on your internet connection,
| choose the Advanced tab, then the Windows Firewall Settings button, then
| Exceptions to bring up the list of exception programs. What you may try is
| going through the list for any programs that could be in there, but maybe
| aren't on the computer anymore. I did click a few off my list now that I
| think of it and wonder if that had anything to do with it. Who knows, it's
| worth a try though.
