Um...something strikes me as odd. When you setup the connection did you
leave the checkbox checked that mentions the "lock file"? If so, that
might be your trouble. Unckeck that box and see what happens. It sounds as
though it's locked. Kinda what Netscape does from time to time when it
crashes and doesn't clean out the temp folder and leaves a lock file lying
around to screw things up.
