sounds like you have the xp firewall enabled?

[revilino]

jeps i have disabled it m8

[bigstar]

Do you have a router/firewall which uses NAT? that would explain why you can't fxp on port 21 ftp servers.

The only solution is to disable NAT.

[revilino]

NOpez i dont have used a firewall or router
when i boot on win98 there is no problem m8

[revilino]

i have found the problem it was xp internetsharing
i have turned it off and use sygate now
everything works fine

[bigstar]

I believe xp internetsharing uses NAT, Can anyone confirm this?

[Fusion]

Yes, it does. I'll try to dig out the exact text that covers this.

ICS does use NAT
