Here's something to try.

This should determine if you can actually connect to the back-up server/computer.

You will need either the www.  address of the back-up site or the IP number.

If you can get either of these open the DOS command box then where the line is blinking type ping xxxxxxxxxxxxxx    << that would either be the www addy or the IP number.   Your comp will try to send 4 packets of data and will then tell you if they are returned.  If they are then you can connect.  Obviously if this works the problem is elsewhere.

The DOS "command prompt" is in accessories in XP.

You could try to ping www.cleanitup.co.uk to see what happens.. or should happen  :)

Hope this helps
