Hi Chris
I did finally resolve the problem. I opened another port and then made
some adjustments to the CuteFTP software I am using. There is some
documentation
from Microsoft at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842242
The problem was also documented by Cute, very badly, but I finally got
it working.
Cheers
Kay
