    Sorry, I was very sick since last post.

    Ok. I was testing on internal hosts no firewall,
    tcp filtering and etc. if you try on the server itself.
    do you get 226.

    I have this page no found error for certain remote hosts.
    beside Alun and Stephen post, if you turn off your fw,
    do you still get this error ?

    IE default using passive mode, and this required certain
    ports to be open, refer this kb.
