I just found something weird with Vista. I can not FTP into my website.
When I type it in I get this error:
"
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:
To try to fix this problem, click Tools, and then click "Diagnose
Connection Problems..."

Retype the address.

Go back to the previous page.

More information

This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:

Internet connectivity has been lost.
The website is temporarily unavailable.
The Domain Name Server is not reachable.
The Domain Name Server does not have a listing for the website's domain.
If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options,
click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled
under the security section.

The thing is when I go back to XP 64bit I do not get this error and it works
fine when I FTP into my site. Do you know what might be casuing this?
 
Is this private? Do you want us to try to ftp to your website to see if we
can do it.
I can try to ftp to your site from WinXP, W2K, and Vista. You just need to
provide me the information to do so.

What do you use when you try to ftp?
 
It does not appear to any issues. Of course I could not ftp with out a
login and password but the dialog box came so I assume that there's no
problem. I was able to do this with w2k and Vista.
 
My mistake. The login, when I FTP, does not come up in Vista, however, I
beleive it has more to do with IE7. I don't think there's ng for IE7.
Someone else is going have chime in on this one.

My next question is this:
Can you ftp to your site using the IP Address?
Do you have another FTP program set up as your default (ie WS_FTP Pro)?
 
Additional information:
One of my WinXP machines has IE7 beta installed and I can FTP with it just
fine. Therefore, it must be the Vista OS, not IE7. Fortunately, I have an
FTP site too. So I'm able to test this too. I'm surprised that I never
noticed this before, since I have an FTP site myself. I'm use to using
WS_FTP-Pro.

Enough of that. Hopefully someone else will let us know what the issue is.
 
Are you able to display a log on your ftp server? On my ftp server, when I
attempt to log in using the browser, it appears that a login and password is
being put in automatically. In my case the login is anonymous...which is
causing my error.

I'm wondering if there is a place in Vista where you set this login &
password?
Review your log to see if an attempt is being made to your server and that
your server is rejecting it. That would at least put the two of us on the
same page.
