I'm trying to follow the directions for installing SUSE10 on zLinux on Hercules 
3.06 from http://www.turbohercules.com/
My Hercules seems to be fine, the CTC's are defined, port forwarding is on, NIC 
checksumming is off.
 In fact the CTC's work fine on my Windows XP for other Hercules clients.
I added a "route add (suse ip) mask 255.255.255.255.255 (windows ip) " too.

I IPL from the SUSE DVD, the "suse.ins", and follow the directions from 
turbohercules. I choose network/FTP install.
I have Filezilla FTP server running, as per turbohercules recommendations. I 
can FTP in from a dos prompt OK.
I defined a FTP user "anonymous" with home directory being the SUSE install DVD 
directory (copied off the DVD)
I define the CTC's (0e20-0e21) as usual, as prompted on the Hercules console by 
the suse.ins script.
It says ctc driver initialised. I can ping OK from windows to the suse guest, 
and from Hercules console back to windows host.
The correct IP's are specified for SUSE instance, Windows host for PLIP,  
Hercules (suse install script) says  ctc0: connected with the remote side.
All is well until it tries to do the FTP connection.
On the FTP server, there is a message:
(000006) 2009/09/18 14:28:19 PM - (not logged in) (172.16.90.246)> Connected, 
sending welcome message...
(000006) 2009/09/18 14:29:20 PM - (not logged in) (172.16.90.246)> 421 Login 
time exceeded. Closing control connection.
(000006) 2009/09/18 14:29:20 PM - (not logged in) (172.16.90.246)> disconnected.

Then on the Hercules side,  the script loops back to asking for the address of 
the FTP server.
Seemingly as far as the FTP server is concerned, Hercules/suse does not offer a 
userid.
When I FTP in myself from a dos prompt, the FTP server log shows what user you 
attempt to log in with; this is missing when Hercules/suse tries.

Surely there is not a bug in the suse install script, as I believe many others 
have successfully installed ?
So what can I be doing wrong..?
