This morning I was unable to upload files to my web site, so sent an
email to my ISP, and got following replay:

quote
You won't be able to upload because you might be behind the firewall
which blocking you.
If you are behind the firewall, make sure that you use the PASIVE MODE
or turn off the firewall.
end of quote

I have been with this ISP for more than a year, but never had this
problem. Nor I intalled Firewall to my computer. Is it possible that
it came with other software I installed recently? I like to learn how
to fnd out whether the Firewall is in my computer, and set the mode to
passive, as mentioned in the message.

Thanks.
