CDRW problems with XP

areid
I am running a laptop with XP pro and a DVD CDRW combo. The inbuilt OS CDRW facilities are virtually useless, so I installed Nero 5. 5 on the laptop (which worked fine on my previous W2K desktop machine).

FTP Server not working anymore

ODiN
I don't know if it's the latest updates from Micrsoft or what, but people can't seem to access my FTP server anymore. I don't have any firewalls installed at all, and when I try to log on to the site locally, it connects fine.
