Thanks, Chris. I made the changes you suggested, and the FTP still failed. I am beginning to understand the subnet mask bit settings, but still have no clue why the Gateway statements work, but not the Route statements.
And I do appreciate you being so patient with me. I know the Gateway is not to be used anymore, so I'm just trying to get this stuff to work in every mode.
