These two sites in particular use a reverse-DNS lookup to confirm you are in the US.  I would venture to say that this isn't a problem with your firewall, but like most places these days, your ISP does not have reverse DNS zones configured.   A good way to test this is to try from the external subnet OUTSIDE the firewall, and if you still have no luck, try doing a DNS query on the PTR record for your IP. (e.g. for IP address aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, search for ddd.ccc.bbb.aaa.in-addr.arpa)   Good luck!   Dan Guinn NetStar Communications -----Original Message----- From: Hanke, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 11:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [FW-1] Importance: High   Hello list:   I am unable to FTP from HP and IBM.  I am able to connect but never receive the login prompt to ftp.hp.com or ftp.pc.ibm.com.  Well, I don't time out I just never get the login prompt.   This has become to be a real pain in the rear.  I am using Checkpoint FW-1 4.1 SP5 on a Windows 2000 SP2 Firewall and Management PC.   Any help is greatly appreciated.   Eric M Hanke Senior Network Engineer Tempel Steel Company Magnetic Steel Laminations for the Electronic and Electrical Industries Phone (773) 250-8056
