Hi Everyone!

First time here, I just installed VB 2 days ago.

I only use VB to have Windows XP on my Mac (Snow Leopard) to be able to use a comic collection software. Everything works fine, I can import comics from the website (www.bedetheque.com) into the software, but unfortunately I can't export anything (I got a message from the software telling me the FTP didn'T work to send the artwork from the comic). The port that are use for the site for the export are http 21 and ftp 21. It used to work with parrallel a year ago, so I know that it is possible to make it work.

Anybody have an idea? Is it a problem with the Host (OSX) or the Guest (Windows XP)?

Thanks in advance for your answer!

Check for a firewall issue.

Thanks for the answer, but it's not the problem. I havé already tried with all osx and Windows firewalls closes

Humm. Well if you are using NAT this sometimes causes FTP problems. If you have a router in the mix switch to Bridged and see if that helps.

hmmm, I don'T have a router. Only a modem provided by my ISP....

I'll try to find a solution an dpost it here.

Thanks a lot Perry!

Can you configure your comic software to use passive mode FTP?

I don't know! I don't think I can do it, but i'll send an emailto the programmer right away!

The software programmer is in France, so I will probably get an answer tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestin, I'll keep you posted!
