I hate this thing, I can't get it to work. Here is the problem http://24.93.235.72 doesn't work. It won't accept anyone. How do I fix it? I know there isn't too many people on the site. I had a problem with an ftp server before. I had to change the port number for it to work. Is this the same way? If so, how would I change the port or isn't it possible or is it something else?

First off if this is an FTP server you can't get there with the address you posted, it would look like this instead ftp://24.93.235.72 and only if there's an anonymous login in, if not and you have the login user and password then you can get there like this ftp:// LOGIN:PASSWORD@24.93.235.72 also this assumes that the port is the standard of 21. IF you're using an FTP client like wsftp pro and the port is nonstandard then you can change the port to whatever the siteop lists as his ftp port.

I had an ftp server running for 3 months now, that isn't the problem. The problem now is the web server. http://24.93.235.72/ People tell me they get 'Not Accepting Any New Requests'. How do I fix that?

My mistake, I thought you said you were having trouble with an FTP server. Just out of curiosity I ran a port scan on that IP address and it seems that you have none of the standard ports open to accept connections on. No port 80, no port 21. Are you running IIS or some other webserving program? You may have to assign that IP address to the WWW folder for your webpage. When I try to bring up your page it just times out.
