[techtalk] ftp_masq stopped working...?

(since it's been a good while, and I've
been away due to unrelated problems,
I'm going to repost the whole question.
sorry!)

This _seems_ just a little odd to me...

I use a windows system to layout some
of the web pages that I do. I upload them
out through my rhl server via ip masq. and
ip_masq_ftp. This has worked fine. once.

But now, even with the

/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp

lines in my rc.local file, as they've always
been, my stuff starts to download to the web
server for like 10 seconds and then just sits and
nothing more gets sent.

any clues? or more information needed?

yes, I think so but how do I check for sure?
yes (same as above :-)
and no, it makes no difference at all.

Hope this is helpful...

Thanks...
