We just switched from WIN 98 to WIN XP. With Win 98 we
had no problems accessing internet FTP or intranet FTP
sites with IE 6.0. On XP we can always access internet
FTP sites. But our own intranet FTP site is only
accessible for a short period of time after booting the
computer. So, if we want to access our intranet FTP site
after 30 minutes or so, we have to reboot. Any
suggestions?
 
Any suggestions?

Take a trace (e.g. use netcap) to find out what ftp commands
IE is sending. Then simulate those using ftp from the command line.
Then work out a circumvention from the command line.
Then figure out how to emulate your circumvention by unchecking
some of the ftp related options in the Advanced tab.

FWIW that is what I did recently when the microsoft ftp site was
acting up. I discovered that unchecking Use Passive FTP...
allowed me to use the site. However, this turned out to be a temporary
trouble because I turned it back on and later was able to use the site fine.


Good luck
