FTP and corporate firewalls

I can't connect to my new Web site. I'm using a corporate laptop at home, which goes through my DSL to the corporate server. When I try to publish through NVU and Bulletproof, I get an error message that says the server is not available or the host cannot be found.



I tried it on my wife's home computer, and NVU and Bulletproof connected just fine. So I'm guessing it's something to do with the corporate server. On the off chance that it had something to do with my Zone Alarm, I turned it off. Still no connection.



Any thoughts?

Your corporate network is properly keeping you from doing unauthorized things on the corporate network.

If you want to do personal things, do them on your personal hardware/network.

Either ask the corporate admin for permission, or don't use the company network for your private stuff.

Are you using internet explorer to post these files?

If so there is a setting in IE in the advanced section that talks about using passive mode for FTP check that setting on your wife's PC and yours and that should solve your problem.
