Sorry if I came in late on this. I lost the original
message...
I work at a place where everything is run on nt that
can be. (It's a pain, but that's the corp world)
We use a dns from ms that integrates wins and dns.
It works good for the ms folk but not so good for
all the unix folk. You will get an ip address and
the domain name servers with dhcp but your (linux)
hostname won't go into dns. If your site uses ms-dns,
then you might have the same problem. Try using
ip addresses in the ping instead of host names.
You can see your ip-addr by using ifconfig.
Even if this is part of your problem, I don't think it
wouldn't explain the ftp problem you are having...
