Internet Explorer ftp support issue

[Just mee]

I had my primary master harddrive fail, and last week I had to
reinstall Windows XP on a new PM harddrive. After I installed XP, I
installed *all* the "critical updates" from windows update, (and most
of the "reccommended updates")..

I now find that FTP access via IE is not working.. I do not get any
specific error messages, (other than if I wait long enough, the
request will time out, and I get the generic "server not found" page
...

As far as I can tell, IE is not even looking on the net for the
requested FTP addresses, but just more or less sitting there (there
isno modem activity after requesting an FTP site)...

This problem seems to be across the board, with every FTP site I have
tried to access..

I checked some sites with Getright's browser, and it can find the
sites fine...

Any ideas?

I have the same problem. Any suggestions would be helpful. I have noticed a couple other post with the same problem
