command line ftp won't work

I can use ftp okay with Internet Explorer, but when I try
to use ftp from the command line I get the message:

ftp: socket

If I type ftp ftp.microsoft.com I get the message
ftp: socket:Network is down

I'm confused. How could the network be down if IE and
Outlook continue to work just fine? Why does ftp work
okay in IE, but not at the command line?
