Now suppose I want to use the ip address like ftp:\\x.x.x.x..the same thing does not work. I get the error that connection could not be established. I can put the same thing on the Iexplorer and it opens the ftp site. Is there a way to use the IP address also.

Wonder if you can help

If I go to the #386142 message it says

You can modify Robert's class to add the passive mode semantics yourself. To use FPT functions in passive mode, pass in the value INTERNET_FLAG_PASSIVE in the dwFlags parameter (the 7th parameter) in the call to InternetConnect. INTERNET_FLAG_PASSIVE like all other WinInet constants is defined in WinInet.h. It's value is 0x08000000, or 134217728.

I don't understand which of Robers't programs to modify or how to do the modification

Thanks
