Here is one to keep for future reference! I connect to the internet using a DSL Cable modem high speed connection, my operating system on my computer is Microsoft Windows XP, and my web browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer 6. My problem was that I couldn't access FTP sites and make downloads. Answer- In the "Internet Options" folder of Internet Explorer there is an "Advanced" tab. There are many options that can be checked on or off on the advanced page. Under the "Browsing" heading of that section is a box that must be checked on if using a firewall or DSL connection. It reads, "Use passive FTP(for firewall and DSL modem compatability)." I have had no problems since turning on this feature, maybe this will help someone else who is ripping out their hair! Thanks again, James ===== MAKTranscriber - http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwood http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiportag http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimonroe __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
