I use a firewall (WinRoutePro) on my server. It occured to me that sometimes
i cannot download files from the internet, because the ftp server operates
on a different port (ie other than 21), why is this ??
I know for sure that my firewall is configured properly: i can send and
receive mail, surf the web, use ping, tracert, nslookup without any
problems, but sometimes i cannot download from FTP servers.

With kind regards, Rick
