Helloooo out there, I am NEW to the NT format. I have recently become employed at a SMALL company (three people including me) which is running NT. The problem is, I am trying to create a website for them using Dreamweaver, but when I try to set up the FTP for the site through the program, it refuses to let me. Also having problems just trying to download new Adobe PDF and others. It seems like it just doesn't want me to have access to some things I NEED from the web. Question, is there some type of permission setting or what what that I have to get set for me. Unfortunately, noone here has any inkling about their own system and it is SLIGHTLY frustrating the (EXPLETIVE HERE!!!) out of me. Thanks.

Another thing. All of our computers are hooked up to ONE modem using Win Proxy, ifn that makes a difference.

Whos logging in as administrator? Maybe its stating the obvious , but without administrative priveleges your going to have a h* of a time doing anything that requires changing anything . There can only be one administrator, and all versions of NT require that somebody have administrative priveleges- so someone in your company must be it,whether they're aware of it or not...very likely whoever set up the OS in the first place,or whoever used it first if theres no one specific who already knows they are.. If nobody remembers becoming administrator you very likely can log in as "administrator" without a password (but i dont know for sure as it might have insisted on one having originally been entered,in which case whoever first logged on after setup of the OS has to remember what they used as password). HTH...

"One modem using win proxy" OUCH... between three people?? For the same kind of money you guys could replace the phone line and internet connection, and just get cable modem or DSL... but anyways.. can you ping the ftp server you are trying to access?? Go to start/run and type cmd. When the dos window comes up type PING ftpserver.com ... where ftpserver.com is the ftp server or IP address you are trying reach. See if you get a reply back, then I'd guess you need to focus your attention to the Win proxy program. Doesnt sound like permission issues to me, instead I see Network connection problems.. does this win proxy program have any restrictions keeping you certain sites or ports? The downloads you are trying access could all be using the FTP protocol..
