Hi Nick,

Are you trying to access your work PC through dial-up access? If so, there could be any of these problems ;

1. Your workplace firewall is not configured to accept the FTP protocol. FTP normally occurs on TCP/IP port 21. Your network guys may have blocked the port for outside access

2. Your workplace firewall is configured to accept the FTP protocol. However, maybe the FTP server is configured to listen for FTP packets on a port other than 21. People do that occasionally for security purposes.

3. Your work router is not able to translate your IP address (Network Address Translation) properly. What normally happens is that internal LAN addresses are give an address starting from 10, say 10.2.3.4. Assume you are accessing your FTP server from the outside world. Your server will have an external address, say 93.1.2.3. Something in the middle needs to translate, or match, the 93 address to the 10 address. That's the work of the NAT router. Maybe that is not happening.

Cheers
