    Have you recently installed/applied any updates on your PC? Have you downloaded a new web browser recently - IE7 or Firefox 2.0.0.3?

    In Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Browsing section, there should be a 'Use Passive FTP (for firewall and DSN modem compatibility)' option. If that's not ticked you could try switching that on to see if it helps any.

    A quick Google of the 12029 error reveals most link to a pooched IE7 installation. Lots of things to try, but the easiest one (if you're using XP and have System Restore enabled) would be to roll-back to 24 hours before you started having the problem.

    Access XP System Restore by clicking Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.

    Choose "Restore my computer to an Earlier Time"
    Select a date about 24 hours prior to when you started having the issue and follow the onscreen prompts.
