Jag - Fetch and Net issues

[kimmer]

Jag is giving me two major headaches:

Headache 1. I can no longer connect to our web site to upload files.
I have tried using Fetch (2 different versions, including the latest). I've also tried using GoLive's built in ftp function. Neither works. The only way I can upload files is to restart using my older hd, and OS 10.whateveritwasprejag. Then I can use either program to get into the web sites (and this includes angelfire, sbc stuff, and our new domain). This is most frustrating and a huge time waster.

Headache 2. Sneakers also upgraded to Jag (I think he was jealous ) and now we can no longer connect to each other's puter.
We have a small network set up here at home so that we can move files back and forth. Again, it all worked very nicely pre-Jag, but not in Jag. A twist: if Sneakers puter is running OS 9, and I'm in Jag - I can connect to him; but not if he is running Jag as well as me. Also, restarting and using the old hd (see above) I can connect.

In an effort to educate myself, I attempted to research this and wound up wading through more techno-babble then I thought was possible.    I read stuff about using the terminal, but that I would not be able to transfer pages and images and such. Doesn't help me any. I also read things like "buy this program". Well, if that is the only way, I'll buy another program - maybe. But I'd like to make this work with what I have.

Sure would appreciate some nice, simple instructions on what I might need to turn on or off or whatever. I'm totally stumped and am about to go past the point of Excedrin doing me any good.    

Setup:
G4
maxed on ram
2 hd's with plenty of space
OS 10.2.8
Fetch 4.0.3
GoLive 6.0
Asante hub with latest firmware

Thanks bunches.

Kimmer:  I can't help with networking (but check for some recent relevant threads here on the board...look for RHPConuslt's and Airbusdirver's), but with the FTP...maybe.

Thanks! Fetch is now working.

I'll try to find those threads. I've searched using several different words and come up empty. In fact, I've searched here for 3 days trying to find all this info and just wound up more frustrated than ever. Obviously I need to refine my searching techniques.
