I know that some larger sites do a reverse lookup on your IP. If there is no DNS name associated with your ip it might deny you access. It solved those issues in the past for me.

Subject: [FW-1] FTP Timeout

Hello List:

 

When I try to FTP from a site with a large welcome message (like IBM, HP and Compaq) I always time out.

 

I am using Checkpoint FW-1 SP5 on a Windows 2000 Server.

 

I vaguely remember seeing a post regarding this but I cannot remember the fix.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Eric
