Looks like there is something wrong at thanh's end of the line. I must have misunderstood the original posting, then. It looked to me like David Arnold ought to contact the Domain Name Liason responsible for maintaining the reverse name lookup service for the IP from which he is trying to do FTP. The DNL can correct the situation: reverse lookups are not working for "63.160.62.68". My own test confirms that 63.160.62.68 has no name: kali:2:ecashin ecashin$ nslookup 63.160.62.68 Server: dns1.uga.edu Address: 128.192.1.9 *** dns1.uga.edu can't find 63.160.62.68: Non-existent host/domain ... and many internet servers will deny service to the host at 63.160.62.68, since its DNS has not configured reverse lookup. -- --Ed Cashin PGP public key: ecashin@coe.uga.edu http://www.coe.uga.edu/~ecashin/pgp/
