I've had all sorts of problems with my pc which I'll not bore you with because I think/feel that I've got the thing at least talking to me with a civil tongue in its head. The reason for my writing and mentioning the above is that I have a web site which I created using Microsoft FrontPage and I'm finding it impossible to upload. The site is simple text, no heavy duty graphics because it's a catalogue of some twenty odd years of writing lyrics. I've tried various FTP programs and failed in various ways which I can nolonger remember. I installed Windows XP Pro and I got the evaluation pack of WS_FTP Pro; still no joy. I've tried all versions of the address, the ISP I've tried to upload to is Dabsol. I've tried their support which is support@dabsol.net, but after over a month of sending them emails I gave up on that ISP and tried the ISP Virgin. That failed as well but their support gave me an immediate reply which advised the upload address being upload.virgin.net, I still didn't get anywhere and so I am now doing my Sherlock and dedusing that it's a problem either with the software (I'm asking Ipswitch for their advice) or this damn pc. The host address for Dabsol is www.thelyrics.dabsol.net, the user ID is 'thelyrics', and I use my password. Now the user ID and the password must be correct because I'm able to gain access to the ISP and my mail etc. But the error messages that come back are 'connect failure' or 'Login Error'. I mean the computer might not be state of the art but it's a 1.33 GHz Athlon processor with 128MB of RAM, and it is so slow you wouldn't believe. I would sincerely and seriously welcome someone getting back to me out there and helping me before I go out the window before this damn computer does. My email address is tommy@thelyrics.dabsol.net. Failing that, thanks anyway for reading.
