I am having the same problem. I have an FTP site set up on our Windows
2003 Web Server. I can access the FTP site through the Internet
Explorer with any Windows 2000 machine, but none of our Windows XP
machines can get access to the site. I know the account name and
password are correct, because it works under Windows 2000. Whats is up
with XP? We have already migrated most of our XP machines back to
Windows 2000 due to other problems with XP, but we cannot control our
clients choice of machines. So our custoimers that have xp are not
able to get access to our FTP site. Any help would be appreciated.
