Hi all, Ok this is a bizarre situation.
The proxy server is setup with all the default settings. No real ACL rules have been added, basically out-of-the-box installation with a few minor changes here and there (cache_effective_user/group, cache_dir, visible_hostname). Now you can access a FTP server from the proxy server with no problem (going through the proxy server), and you can access the ip address of that same ftp server with no problems. Now on a client machine, running IE6 with no updates, can�t access an FTP site like ftp.is.co.za � You just get a time-out error. However, take the ip address of that server and it does go through. Now to add all odd-ness, the client CAN access the ftp server via ftp://anonymous:[EMAIL PROTECTED] without a hitch. Odd heh? I have checked cache.log� when a client tries to access a ftp server via ftp://ftp.is.co.za cache.log reports no connections. Its as if the client isn�t even access the proxy server� Yet when you access it via IP address or via ftp://anonymous:[EMAIL PROTECTED] then cache.log reports the connection (ftpStart: blab blab bla). Any ideas. Its not DNS because http sites work no problems. Thanks Douglas Lane -------------------------------------------------------------- This Email is digitally signed by VeriSign.
