I've been struggling through this installation for a few hours, overcoming one problem and then another.  Now I'm stuck on what should be 
the easiest one of all.  When FTPing to another machine to install the files, it says something like "Connecting to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX..."
Then "Logging in..." and nothing happens.  It just says that I can't log in.  I've tried anonymous.  I've tried ftp.  I've tried many 
different servers...  I'm baffled.  Please help....
