   * An ongoing debate between Janis Kracht and Ben Ritchey rages on ...   
      
   Hmmm... that seemed to help, but the problem seems to be the fact that I'm   
   running in a Win 7 VM behind 2 cascaded routers :( It gives the incoming IP of   
   the 1st router and displays:   
      
   === Cut ===   
   Server sent passive reply with unroutable address. Using server address   
   instead.   
   === Cut ===   
      
   then closes connection ... lucky it got that far I guess {chuckle}
