Dreamweaver CS3 FTP Error: Cannot make connection to host

Question

I have Windows Vista with a new purchase of Adobe Dreamweaver
CS3 Web Premium. I am a regular Dreamweaver user since version 2.
But this FTP situation still baffles me.
1. I have set up all my FTP parameters as usual and have
tried to use "Passive FTP" and the "Secure FTP" settings, but to no
avail
2. I tried to FTP via explorer and do have access to my
hosting service. The problem lies related to Dreamweaver itself.
3. I tried to check to see if my Windows Firewall would
affect it, but it is included in the firewall exception list.
I checked the other forum listings related to this problem,
and one of them mentions about the 60 second issue. I also checked
my site preferences and it is set to 60.
I don't want to use Cute FTP. I've been using Dreamweaver for
all these years and found it annoying to get another program just
for this. I am hoping to resolve this issue here on the forums so
that other Dreamweaver CS3 users can use FTP to upload their
site.
