Cant connect to FTP

I ran the microsoft network connection wizard because I want my internet connection to go directly to my computer
(that I have smartFTP on) and then share the connection (ICS) to my router.

Now it seems I can get on the internet ok, on the computer that has the direct connection, but I can't connect by FTP.

Continue to login attempt 6...

Any idea hot that could happen?
