<div>Can anyone out there possibly help me with my FTP problems from
home? I use an RCN high speed connection. I have terminal,
internet and eudora all working well. When trying to use fetch I
continue to get the following message after putting in my
password: GSSAPI error: miscellaneous failure
Incorrect net address.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I have tried this with and without VPN and get the same error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>I have added VPN software, as well as
MITnet-VPN.pcf and imported it. I opened VPN and waited until it
told me it had a connection. I still received the following

Hello,<br>
<br>
I'm responding to you regarding your inquiry or problem concerning
Fetch from an RCN connection.<br>
<br>
It could be that the RCN connection itself is getting in the way of
Fetch. A simple test can figure this out.<br>
<br>
Download and install MIT's VPN software. This creates a private tunnel
between your computer and MIT and does not allow anything from the RCN
service to interfere with network applications. It's like having your
own on-campus IP address in your home.<br>
<br>
Directions and downloads for VPN can be found here:<br>
<br>

<br>
If this doesn't solve the problem, let us know.<br>
<br>
If you have further questions, feel free to contact us again. When you
contact us, please reference your case number which can be found in
the subject of his email message.<br>
<br>
Respectfully,<br>
<br>
Nate Herzog<br>
