SYMPTOMS

When you open an authenticated File Transfer Protocol (FTP) connection to a UNIX FTP server using the Add Network Place tool in My Network Places, three TCP sessions to the FTP server's TCP port 21 are created. When you close the window for the connection, only the first and third TCP sessions are properly closed. The second TCP session moves to a close_wait state and stays there indefinitely.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 2000.
