The error "can't make data connection" means exactly that; the server
yo uare connecting to is failing to create the data port required for
yo uto upload or download the requested information.  Usually when you 
see "PORT (none, ...)?" it means that REBOL was unable to determine
the IP address of your computer to send to the server yo uare talking
to, hence the failed connection.

What is odd here is that you managed to talk to a different FTP server 
just fine.  Check a trace on a working FTP server and compare that
against the one that does not work.  Also, try typing
'read dns://' and 'read join dns:// read dns://' and see what REBOL
comes back with.  These should return your machine hostname and ip
address.  If they are incorrect then that may show part of what is
wrong.

Lastly, you're not running through any sort of proxy, ip masquerading, 
or anything like that are you?
