A)Is a proxy running? If yes you have to give in the ip-adress of it in the following fields (extras->options->connection->LAN-> Extended) "For all protocols use the same address." Then the FTP-transfers should make no more problems. On some FTP-clients like WSFTP and CuteFTP you have to disable the option "use firewall". B)The Netscape has a longer response-time like the IE.

C)Try to connect via browser or ftp-client and post the output of the following commands (type in DOS-box): 1. netstat -rn 2. ipconfig /all Bye, Schorschi > > Doug Gough >
