RE: Squid 2.0 not able to access ftp sites

I cannot understand what is going on.....
I tested Squid 2.0 on my home system and it flies through all ftp sites
(some of them the same I cannot see with the company Squid). Could there be
a hint on what bothers passive ftp connections?
(I even tried ftp://squid.nlanr.net)
The system with the problem is a RH5.1 box with 128 MB RAM (I upgraded from
RH5.0 but without any success).

Can I reconfigure Squid to make active connections to servers?

Thanks
Evaghelos.
