zillah · #1 04-05-2006, 05:13 AM

On my Desktop I have got 2 OSs XP and Win2003, I was trying to enable ftp server on both OSs.

I was trying to test XP for FTP server.

Client is my laptop (win2003).

When i was trying to do ftp from client laptop (2003) to server desktop (XP), first time i was able to see files on desktop, then after that I received these error message :

For the XP configuration, I compared my configuration with this as well

Code:

On laptop's Firefox browser

Code:

    
 The server at 192.168.164.163 is taking too long to respond.

     * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few

         moments.

 
    * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

          connection.

     * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure

          that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

On laptop's Internet Explorer browser :

you may think this is an irrelevant question, but ...

How many NIC do you have on your server ?

Cheers

The problem was with firewall, it has been enabled without my knowledge, at work.

The problem has been solved.

Thanks
