Can't EstablishConnection

I'm having a strange problem with my Core FTP. I've been using the program for a couple of years now to great success, but a couple of weeks ago I began having trouble logging into servers. I keep getting a "Can't establish connection" error message. Oddly, I can still access Microsoft and Linksys public servers (the ones you login to anonymously), but not servers that require a password and username.

I've contacted the server provider and spoken with a few other people who access the server on a regular basis, but there doesn't seem to be any problems on their end. I've also gone down all of the login information (host, username, and password) and made sure that everything was correct, as well as checked my settings (both on Core and my computer) to see if anything was changed. Everything's absolutely as it was before I began having this problem, and I have no trouble connecting to the internet on my broadband connection. What's really weird is that I tried downloading and using Core FTP on two other computers in my house, but I had the same problem as before (Can't Establish Connection).

Does anyone have any suggestions? I think I've tried just about everything I can think of, including reinstallation and program repair, and nothing seems to work. Here's the log information for anyone that's curious...

Sorry for the late response, but I had to leave town for a couple of weeks to take care of some things. I forgot to mention that I tried disabling my firewall to see if that would help and no dice. Thanks, though. Are there any other suggestions?

A lot of people have been having trouble with their routers lately. Although it's most likely just large coincidence that it's happening now, who knows...maybe it isn't. I'd try unplugging and resetting your router(s) and/or cable modem (assuming you have one) to clear its internal cache. Hopefully that might also help.
