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!
