You'll have to try to talk your ISP into setting up reverse DNS entries for their IPs.. [jim@corp:~]$ nslookup ppp01.sneaker.net.au Server: ns.triax.com Address: 209.222.164.2 Name: ppp01.sneaker.net.au Address: 61.8.14.32 [jim@corp:~]$ nslookup 61.8.14.32 Server: ns.triax.com Address: 209.222.164.2 *** ns.triax.com can't find 61.8.14.32: Non-existent host/domain If they don't add reverses for their IPs, it doesn't look like you'll be able to get into the ftp site you're trying to get into.
