Good day... I just switched from Dial-up to DSL and my CuteFTP (V2.8) client will no longer logon to my website FTP server, however, I can still logon online with the hosting service and do online file management. All help appreciated!

Does your new configuration also include a new firewall? Possibly built into your DSL router?
A normal FTP connection involves the FTP server initiating a connection back to the client on a port the client specifies; perhaps your firewall isn't allowing the incoming connection.
Try setting your FTP client into "passive" mode, which causes all connections to be initiated by the client, which satisfies most firewalls.
Good Day Bert... Thanks for the info!
