Two problems, FTP not working at a site and Error 50:

HELP
On three machines, Win98SE, WinXP desktop and WinXP laptop, I am able to download ZIP files from most sites but neither IE6 nor Firefox is able to connect with the server on an important US fcc.gov site when using my DSL ISP. There is "Connecting to ftp.fcc.gov" and then "Done", but no transfer has been attempted.

I am able to do downloads from this site using a dialup account on a different ISP. I blame the V***z*n ISP.

======

I admit another defeat. I hadn't used dialup for a number of months and now get

"All devices connected
Error 50: The request is not supported."

This is on my Win98SE and WinXP desktop machines. I do not have this dialup problem on my WinXP laptop.

I have tried turning off the XP Firewall to no avail. I have not tried reseting TCP/IP.

All three machines use AVG Free 7.5 antivirus.

HELP!!
