Hi Cyclone,
Pleased to be able to assist. For what it is worth, one thing you can think about, is that I AM using the WinGate Firewall and I still have these difficulties. You mentioned in a previous message that you had disabled yours. So I guess that the Firewall isn't the problem. Better to activate your defenses and avoid any intruders getting into your system. It amazes me when I monitor the Firewall Panel in WinGate, just how much activity there is. I'm sure that some of it is legitimate, but there is also a great deal of probing going on; for whatever reason. About a month back, I found an address that looked real foreign and when I tracert'ed it, I ended up somewhere in China. I sure don't have any cousins that live there, so I guess I was being checked out for invasion purposes.
Let's see what the Backroom Boys at Qbik come up with in the coming days, for the FTP situation.
Nothing more.
Regards, Warren
