That's probably your local address:

gdi,ttyp2,/usr/local/etc,37>host 24.112.44.7
Name: pc-32209.on.rogers.wave.ca
Address: 24.112.44.7

Check that:

1.  The resources that the ethernet card is using is unique.
2.  The cabling is plugged in properly and is in good shape.  If you have

It depends on the ftp program in question.
