Re: ftp upgrade problem



I have a similar problem on one of mey machine.  I have two Linux 
machines networked.  The strange thing is that my gateway machine
works fine but not for the other one.  When I try to ftp from that
machine, I can log to the ftp site but when I do ls, it just waits
forever.					 ^^
