Ever since I installed xp sp2 on my box, I can't ftp to our companies ftp
site from my xp box. I can still get there all day long from any Win2k box
in the office. I turned off the xp firewall, but it didn't help. Any
suggestions?

Thanks, Andre
 
Perhaps the troubleshooting information in this article may help:

You may not be able to open a project when you try to connect to a remote Windows XP
Service Pack 2-based computer by using the AutoCAD FTP service

Here's how to correct the problem after opening Port 21 via the
SP2 firewall Exceptions tab:

1. Open Internet Explorer >Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab

2. Uncheck the box: "Use passive FTP (for firewall & DSL modem capability)

I love the newsgroups. :) I'd already added the exception to the firewall,
but the passive option did the trick.

Thanks!

Unfortunately this has not worked for me.
