Maybe there is a problem resolving the computer name on the network. You could try the ip address. To determine the ipaddress enter ipconfig or winipcfg from a dos prompt.

Subject: [WS_FTP Forum] Really dumb question
I've installed ws_ftp pro server 4.0 and auto configured it. I can ftp into
my own computer, but I have no idea what address to give friends so that
they can ftp into my computer. I checked all the faq's and the programs help
file.
For example, say my computer name was Xxx-Xxx. The default host name would
then be Xxx-Xxx. On my computer I can ftp into ftp://Xxx-Xxx/myfolder but if
I give someone that address with userid and password and they create an
account in their ftp client, they can't connect to my computer. Can someone
tell me what the address would be? I tried changing my host name to my IP
address, but then even I can't get in. Help please. And no giggling!
Thanks,
John
