www yes ftp no

Uh, never mind. I figured it out. For some reason Norton Internet Security (which was only a 60-day demo install) was resident on my Inspiron 700m as a folder separate from Program Files. It was not evident on the Start/Control Panel/ Add/Remove Program nor was there an uninstall in the NIS folder. I went to Symantec and found an extraordinary executable that would eliminate all of the remaining NIS files. Viola!

Nuff said. Now I can ftp as well as www.

Hope this helps someone else in the future.
