I have changed my broadband supplier and now the facility to upload to a FTP
service and to acquire the internet/email from my ICS networked second
station is lost completely. The broadband supplier states it is not his
problem! The FTP service states that all is well there end and it must be
my operating system preventing the connections. I have attempted to connect
with firewall on and off without success. Has anyone any idea what may be
blocking the route through to the FTP service or not allowing broadband to
my second machine on the network (only two laptops -both XP) which work
between one another for file and printer sharing. Help I am desperate!!

You may need to rerun the network connection wizard on the connected
PC/Laptop - as when changing a broadband provider would almost definitely
change things such as DNS Server(s) as a minimum. As a recommendation, I
would purchase a router, a decent one now days is very cheap, $30-40 US
dollars as most, a very good wireless/landline combo around $80, setup both
PC/Laptops as DHCP and then both don't have to be on to access the internet,
plus making changes such as these become relatively simple.
