Hey folks,

I've got an ftp problem I don't understand.  On my FreeBSD box (running a
relatively recent version of -current), when I anonymous ftp to one
machine in particular I have problems seeing the directories on that
machine.  Specifically, when I try to get a file:

200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't build data connection: Cannot assign requested address.

I asked the folks what kind of machine it was I was connecting to and the
answer I got was "A Fast server", which I think means "Fast(tm)".  I've
never heard of it, I'm still working on that bit of information.

At any rate, sometimes I can get onto this machine and see directories and
such, other times I can't.  It seems to work from other platforms.  Can
someone proffer some advice as to how to troubleshoot this?  

Thanks,

Brian
