The FTP portion is Serv-U FTP. The backbone and the rest
is IIS 5 with FrontPage 2K Extensions. FrontPage works and
connects fine.
It seems to be isolated to my personal computer which has the
problems connecting (which is running XP SP2). IE connects
to some servers but doesn't connect to one particular server.
It's had me baffled for about a month now. And it's only an
Internet Explorer (or Browser) issue.
My first initial thoughts were some settings were messed up
with Internet Explorer or XP, so a reinstallation of XP was
done and the problem still exists.
The second thought to cross my mind was that perhaps there
is an issue involving the length of the username used to
connect with the server, but someone else connected fine
using their machine in another state. Right at the moment I
do not know which OS they used to connect.
So I'm back to it being a problem with my machine.
It does not seem to be an IIS issue. I've run out of ideas and
thoughts and I can get FTP software to connect and work.
I was out of ideas when I posted the request for help and I
only recently organized it in my own head. I am currently
leaning my thoughts that it is an XP issue rather than IIS.
