>She can actually connect via dial-up, then she attempts to run a datatransfer utility (written in VFP). The program attempts to make an FTP connection and I think this is where the error is occurring. When I check the Remote Service Administrator on the server, it shows that she is connected and her computer name is indicated, however there isn't any IP address showing up.

No, but she must have a TCP/IP stack installed and bound to the Dial-Up adaptyer; if all she has is NetBEUI, she can't get an IP address...

>I am a little unfamiliar with the code for this program as I didn't write it. Any suggestions on what this problem might be. Sorry for the lack of details....
