After Shock Media

Issue is FTP & SSH related.

Issue:
I can not connect via FTP nor SSH to my servers.
I can connect via FTP and SSH to other servers.

Hardware & Specs:
Dell inspiron laptop.
Compaq desktop.
Windows XP, all service packs, and updates installed.
Netgear router.
Charter ISP.
Techiemedia webhost.
Smartftp, Cuteftp, WinSCP for clients.

Checks, tests, notes:
All user names and passwords are correct.
Host is positive it is on my end. Dealt with co-owner main tech at hosting company.
Others can connect to my boxes with no issues.
I can not connect to none of my three servers but can connect to other places.
Command line ftp results in Connected, then it hangs. Does not ask for a user name and password.
Command line telnet results in connected, then it hangs. Entering anything drops connection.
WinSCP results in attempting to connect, then asks to retry or abort.
SmartFTP results in attempting to connect, connected, then time out and retries.
CuteFTP just stays at attempting to connect.
Problem is happening on both laptop and desktop.
Have tried it with windows firewall off, spyware programs off, antivirus programs off.
Have no ISP side firewall in place.
If it was something I installed it would of had to been an automatic update, since I have not used the desktop in some time and it is happening their as well.

First person by post number to correctly identify the issue and fix it gets the cash. If it goes private everyone will just have to trust me on who fixed it first. In the event no one fixes it before I have to resort to an in house tech to come and fix it, no one gets it.

Please if you are going to have me backtrack and or uninstall stuff or what not, please be fairly certain you know what the issue is and how to fix it first.
