Internet Explorer Stops Responding When You Open an FTP Site

Hello,

I am running Windows XP (Home) SP2 with Internet Explorer 6.0 SP2. IE stops
responding whenever I try to open an ftp site. Netscape does the same
thing. Popup blocker is off. Any ideas what's going wrong or how to fix?
Thanks.

Check your router/firewall and open ports 20 and 21.

Unk,

Thanks for your help. I've used Port Detective to discover that Ports 20 &
21 are open. What is Port 20 for? Still locks up when I go to an ftp site.
Any other suggestions? Thanks.
