Dear List This is a wierd one: If I ftp across the network, PC to PC, no problem. If I ftp from my iBook to my desktop, via ethernet crossover cable and static non-routable class C addresses, no problem. But if I ftp from my iBook across the internet I can log on and chdir, but I every time I try to NLST, it times out. I've tried 3 different ftp clients to the same (non) effect. Any ideas? Bruce.
