Does DSL affect the ability to connect?

I recently moved and upgraded my ISP to DSL. Now I cannot connect to any of the websites I used to for FTP. It just says:

SmartFTP v1.5.990.2
Resolving host name "www.anyurl.com"

It does not do anything past that.....
I have tried to understand what might be going on from other posts with no luck. I do have Windows Firewall turned off and also using Norton Internet Security for a firewall. Can somebody give me a clue as to how to fix my problem?

Hi,

Try with the host 'ftp.netscape.com'. Then, try the IP address '64.12.204.22'.

If the 2 don't works, it's a problem with your computer and/or your ISP (does your ISP provide you some proxy information?). If the only the first doesn't work, you may have a problem with the DNS resolution.
