The Windows box is likely resolving all addresses from the Windows DNS server. Make sure the host and PTR records for the Sun blade server are setup in Windows 2000 DNS. If you continue to have issues, use a 3rd party FTP utility on the workstation.If this doesn't work, you may be requiring an incompatible type of authorization and/or data encryption mechanism.
