Assuming that you've entered the server details correctly (a screenshot of the server page would help here), first make sure that you're actually able to connect to the server from your PC.  Try pinging it from the commandline. Try switching off your firewall.  Try to telnet to it and login manualy (AUTHINFO USER username, then AUTHINFO PASS password), etc.  This might help to narrow down the problem.
