Why are you using INTERNET_INVALID_PORT_NUMBER? You should be using INTERNET_DEFAULT_FTP_PORT.

InternetOpenUrl uses default settings when it connects and makes a best guess, while when you use the lower level methods you have to configure everything. Hard to tell what's wrong - look at the error messages.

You should play around with the various connection types in InternetOpen(). Try using the Proxy or IE configuration options which do semi-automatic config for proxy servers.
