Very much a newbie so apologies.

I'm accessing a broadband connection wirelessly with a Sitecome WL-125 Wireless Network Utility (Wireless Router)

I'm having problems with the FTP manager in Dreamweaver, and I've tried another FTP manager. It tells me "could not make connection with host"

If I preceed my domain name with ftp I'm able to access it, i.e.
ftp://s126980356.websitehome.co.uk/ (althouh I was only able to do this after turning my firewall off).

This opens up Windows Explorer so I can see the files, which I think proves that the FTP host, username and password are correct.

I've concluded from a search on google that it may be because I'm behind a router. However I can't find any solutions.

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks
Joe

Maybe it's still a firewall problem, not a router problem. Being wireless, does the router require an id/password like a proxy server?
