RT:Why I can't make an ftp through explorer?

Question

Dear members,
Actually I have a problem with the browser to connect with the target.
My system is a peer to peer PC desktop.
I am able to deploy and run the application without troubles and also the data exchange via the measurement and automation explorer
works fine.
The problem is when I try to estabilish a connection via ftp or http to the target.
 I type the usual URL: ftp://160.40.10.20/NI_RT/SYSTEM/WWW/  where the IP address is the target address and ...page cannot be displayed.
I'm sure the firewall is inactive and I set the pop-up and security at the minimal level.
The Web configuration in the real time target properties is so set:
TCP/IP  box checked
In the computer acess list I wrote the IP addresses of the target and the host
Webserver active checked
Webserver Browser access  I wrote the Host  IP address
User access   I placed the Host IP
Someone has idea what I made wrong?
Bye

Thanks for the suggestion but I solved the problem finally.
The fact is that I use a Peer to Peer connection but the host or better IE on the host has been configured for a LAN connection. This means anytime it searches an address he wants to go through the Gateway and since the gateway is not connected....
The solution is quite straightforward:
Starting from the tool bar of IE  follow the path Tools>>Internet Options>>Connections>>LAN Settings>>Advanced..
Then in the field Exceptions (address which do not need a proxy connection) write the target IP address or if more than one the trgets addresses separated from a semi colon and that' s it.
So said it seems easy....
