denying your access eventhough the port is opened. I he refuses indeed to
open the port that is indeed the reason. Can you make with your pc a
telnet session on an external workstation outside your local network
?
If not I confirm your problem and than you have to ftp over
the workstations if they are connected with the pc. Inform me about it,
maybe you can save by this needless searching!Bart

Hello,
I can ftp to moon.cecer.army.mil from my pc. It is a gateway 2000 486.
I'm at Michigan State University, I'm on ethernet and I'm running PCTCP
by FTP Inc.
Hope this info helps you locate your problem.

P.S. I don't believe that the dns on campus has this pc listed on it.
