ftp ... cannot download

[Murs]

running XP

just moved from dial-up to cable

cannot download ftp files .... click on file to download
and you wind up with a screen that says The page cannot
be displayed

tried right click and chose Save Target As ... this gives
me an error message as follows ...

Internet Explorer cannot download...filename...from
site
A connection with the server could not be established.

This is not the problem in Knowledge Base article 816037,
as I already have a more current version of Urlmon.dll

While I am behind a firewall (Norton Internet Security),
even if I turn it off, I continue to have the same
problem.

Any ideas would be welcomed.

Thanks.

Can this be the reason?

Fix if This problem occurs after you apply the 832894 security update
(MS04-004) or the 821814 hotfix.

SYMPTOMS
Programs that use Wininet functions to post data (such as a user name or a
password) to a Web server retry the POST request with a blank header if the
Web server closes (or resets) the initial connection request.
