All Connections Fail

I noticed the announcement about v 2.0 build 999 where it contained a bug that causes all connections to fail. Well, I have v 2.0 build 1002 and still, all connections fail. I use multiple hosts with different addresses, user names and passwords. I can connect to none of them. All return an error that says:

"A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond."

This simply isn't believable since it involves multiple hosts. I am running on Vista Ultimate if that makes a difference.

I cannot update my sites and that's a problem. Do you have a solution?

Thanks.

The log below is for one server only but it is the same for multiple servers. Once in a while I'll connect but then I won't be able to browse to any folders. My connection will be aborted by the server.

Hello ...

Please update to the latest version:
https://www.smartftp.com/download

Then take a look at the KB article at:
https://www.smartftp.com/support/kb/58

The problem is very likely that another software on your computer (usually personal firewalls) is blocking SmartFTP from making a connection. The solution for this problem is explained in the KB article above.
