Hi all,

For some reason, because I'm behind a firewall (or at least, that's the only
reason I can figure) when I try to connect to some ftp servers using a web
browser or Fetch, I get an Illegal Port Command. If I use the OS X terminal,
I get the same thing, unless I set it to passive mode, in which case
everything works fine. So my question is, how can I set Fetch/IE/Netscape to
default to passive mode? Is it possible? I would like to be able to connect
to ftp servers with no problem when, say, I'm booted into OS 9.

This only recently started happening, after the whole @Home debacle, and we
got a new IP address and new DNS servers. Weird.

Thanks in advance!
