I have set up my account settings, and the Joomla! Settings and FTP Settings both verify.  However, when I save them and click OK, I get "error trying to get initial settings."

I have the latest Blogg-X and mambot, and a new 1.0.11 Joomla installation.  My user is "publisher" status.  I have tried turning off the XP firewall, no help.

Is this a connection issue?  thanks
