iis ftp : User isolation wont work !!!

I've just created an FTP site with user isolation on my LAN. The folder names
under the root FTP directory as well as the virtual directory names under the
FTP site correspond to the user names. After authenticating from any other
machine you click on "login" and get "The page can not be displayed" PLUS
part of my password shows up in the address bar mixed up with the ftp address
like in ftp://<five letters of my password>192.168.1.69

Any ideas.........please!! It works fine with a regular ftp with no
isolation though

Now it works but only from a couple of computers, is there some setting I
have to check on every single machine??

this is standard isolation or AD integrated?

Same IE version 6.0 in Windows 200 and XP.
I am using standard isolation (I guess that's how you call it when there is
no domain is involved) Works fine in two out of 25

Let's narrow the scope first, go to those non-working machine.
Open command prompt, enter
c:\> ftp yourftpserver

login, and do a dir listing.
Can you login? users get redirected to their home folder?

Thanks for your reply Bernard,
I was able to login and do a dir list from the comand prompt from a non
working machine. The users are redirected to their folders and the files in
each folder are listed. Beautiful!! but when you try from Internet Explorer,
after entering user name and password you get "The page cannot be displayed"
and again your password becomes part of the ftp address in the address bar.
weird!

Any other ideas?

OK It worked after changing a couple of things
1.- Do not use virtual directories under the IIS ftp site
2.- Every user folder should be under <yourftpfolder\LocalUser\userfolder

There is still something weird though. The ftp site won't work for the
preexisting users but it works fine for newly created users. After checking
the user properties they all have the same priviledges and limitations.

Any idea why???

Mm.. first the IE issue, is the client app issue.
And for the exiting users, does it work via ftp.exe ?
