ftp pppd works some times not others

Dear all

Well ftp over ethernet works consistantly all the time from another qnx
machine or from W98, but when I connect the same machines using pppd I get
the following

ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
connected to xxx. etc
Service unavailable etc.
ftp> open xxx. etc
connected to xxxx. etc
user
password
and everything is ok

Why does it connect the second time when it wont connect the first time.
Everything else is the same.

I ahve since discovered that I have a similar problem with telnet and being
new to this I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on what the
problem could be.
