I still doesn’t seem to be working for me, but I am a complete noob with this stuff. Just so I’m clear, you made a file named php.ini containing exactly the code in your above post (and nothing else), then put that file in the root of your ftp folder, correct?

I still have not resolved the issue, but I have norrowed it down a bit… I moved my entire wordpress site and database to a local MAMP server. From my local server the plug-in works fine. The exact same set-up on my Godaddy hosted server gives me the “Connection attempt failed!” error. I’m still not sure what’s going on, but it definately seems to be on the Godaddy side of things (Economy Linux Hosting).
