Have you made sure that Netscape is configured ?  Under Options/Preferences
select the Mail and News screen and make sure your e-mail address is set
as even tho' you're using a Web browser it will do an anonymous ftp login.

Failing that it could be a DNS problem ...

The following URL should work :

	ftp://ftp.nhm.ac.uk/paleonet

It worked for me, but then the machine is on my desk !!
