ftp GRASS

[aprc at mail.nerc-bas.ac.uk]

 I have found it impossible to ftp from moon.cecer.army.mil from PCs, although 
there is no problem from Workstations. My local support people conjecture that 
this is because our PCs are not DNS registered, while the workstations are. This 
means that if moon.cecer.army.mil attempts to check on the existence of the PC 
systems, it can't find them in the DNS system, and refuses to connect to them, 
for security reasons.

Can someone confirm or deny this hypothesis?
