I have a newbie problem with FTP-ing to my linux box from my Win2K machine.  I'm 
running the simplist of simple networks of just two CPU's networked together with an 
cross-over cable.

The problem is that I can only FTP from Windows to my Linux box when I'm *on-line*.  
Once I get off the internet it says that the computer I'm trying to connect to is not 
on the network...??  

I have to assume there are some problems with my configuration (maybe IP's?) that has 
one or both computers thinking that in order to ftp to my box I have to be on-line.  
Perhaps it's because I'm ftping to it using it's "name" of linuxbox.localdomain.com 
instead of it's IP address but I think it results in the same conclusion either way!

I can ping, and telnet at *any* time with no problems, internet or no internet...

Thanks in advance for any help!
Nick
