[MLUG - DISCUSSION] FTP error

["Ross, Matt" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Take one FTP server, and one Apache webserver.  The webserver has a page
with a link to ftp://ftp.ourdomain.org/pub/PRDIR/SOMEFILE.EXE

Within our network, getting this file is no trouble.  From my shell account,
using Lynx, there is no trouble, from home using IE, there is no trouble,
from a shell account on the west coast using Opera there is no trouble.
Now, several organizations can't click to the files from within their LAN,
though one was able to click to the files from his firewall box.  We sent
one person to check from home using Compuserve dialup, and he couldn't click
to it.  These people can type in the ftp address and go to the folder, but
clicking doesn't work.  Most are using internet exploder, but a few we don't
know what they're using.  All are using windows.  In the log file, these
show up as connection failed, and account for 9% of the attempts.  Most
attempts from AOL come through just fine, as are most using IE.  Any clue
why this 9% can't click their way in?
