Re: Error intalling via FTP, please help me

[Stephen Smoogen <smooge redhat com>]

this problem is usually firewall related. What is happening is that the
install program is trying to enter passive ftp mode so that it can do
multiple connections on the same port (versus many ports (I think)) The
firewall or something in between is saying SORRY cant allow that port to
be used.
