I got those FTP Blues

[Guest]

I posed a question the other day about why FTP will not load any sites with
XP Pro. I received a couple of answers (thanks guys). I tried your suggested
fixes but still, nothing. No other programs will work, nor will turning on or
off pasv mode or anything to do with annomous or passive modes.....

Somebody please

I really need to get FTP up and runningd

First it would have been better to keep to the original thread where you posted 1st.
Secondly what is your Windows Version? 3rd I am using W2K3 Sever and I do not know if in XP you have like I do. When you type in services.msc into Start\Run is FTP enabled or Disabled?

What type of connection do you have to the internet? Modem, Cable, DSL, etc.
Do you have a router, hub, switch? What make and model if any.
Do you have a software firewall installed that is blocking ports 20, 21?

Setup a newsreader.

Don't use the web interface. Use a newsreader to access this
newsgroup. XP has one, Outlook Express (OE), and there are others to
choose from. Much better way to access a newsgroup than the web
interface which is just plain lousy.

Here is a link on how to set up OE to access a newsgroup:
