FTP Filter and MSIE3.01?

Hi,
I'm playing around with the filters for PM3 and have a rather intriguing
case:
As part of my filter is:
set filter dialup.in 1 permit 0.0.0.0/0 207.23.43.0/24 tcp dst eq 21
set filter dialup.in 2 permit 0.0.0.0/0 207.23.43.0/24 tcp dst eq 20

for rulte #2, I also tried:
set filter dialup.in 2 permit 0.0.0.0/0 207.23.43.0/24 tcp src gt 1023 dst
eq 20 estab

Both cases work to the point that if I dialin using a win95 client, and
open a DOS shell and run ftp there, everything works. But if I were to
use MSIE and try to load as ftp://ftp.mysite.com, it'll "hang" on the
"loading..." status. On the server side, I can see that the control
connection succeeded, but not the data socket. This is rather baffling.
Any ideas?

I'll try using a FTP program like FTP/32, CuteFTP, ... if you like, but
I get the feeling it'll work for any of those. If anyone wants, I can also
get Netscape and see if it works for that.

Thanks in advance!
