It errors out and returns the following message: "The connection has been dropped because of a network failure or because the peer system failed to respond. Also caused when Connect, Send, Receive, Fill or Close methods are used with a Timeout parameter and the operation fails to complete within the specified number of milliseconds." I talked briefly with the network administrator and he says the problem is that he is blocking Ports 1024 and higher. I have set the "LocalDataPort" setting to 20. However I still have the same problem. ANyone have an idea why? Thanks for any Help.
