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.

I have tried this with and without VPN and get the same error.  Any 
help would be greatly appreciated.
