Please any suggestion why this happening.? Where it would be problem? when I tried to access this website on my pc it is also giving timeout error while opening website. What would be the possible cause for same. AS it is only website I facing the problem. Other all websites are working fine.

Hi, try to raise connection timeout to 120s.

Hi,

I'm also getting this error, but increasing timeout to 120 seconds didn't fix it.

Reading the error message, searching the forum, etc would help you to get the problem solved:

I have Norton internet security suite and I have read the error message; I can action the part about the firewall although not the part about the anitvirus. Either way diabling the antivirus does not allow me to connect, disabling the internet suite does; obviously not a pragmatic solution. The connection is then seemingly dropped.

I have same problem ere had it long time now, when ever I upload or down load it works fine and fast, but now and again it decides to drop on me and give that error

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond.

U have the windows firewall disables as always and still have the trouble, I have avast antivirus with firewall built in, I disabled avast still had trouble.

my webmaster keeps insisting is my ISP but I know its not, as this seems to work perfectly on another server just uploading php and images never drops on me

So whats wrong?
