I am having an issue with FileZilla, when I try access my FTP account, I get this:

Status: Connecting to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xx (Ip adds:port)
Error:  Connection timed out
Error:  Could not connect to server
Status: Waiting to retry...
Status: Connecting to (Ip adds:port)
Error:  Connection timed out
Error:  Could not connect to server

This was working fine till yesterday. It works on another pc, but its not working onn my pc now. I tried disabling Windows Firewall (as I am using Windows 8 OS). Also I completely reinstalled FileZilla, still that didn't do it. Is there anything more I can try?

I was connected to the Internet from another Laptop, with sharing the internet connection. So there was the problem, it had restricted to access the ports. When I connected directly to the Internet the problem was solved.
