Well I don't have an acount on your FTP server, but when *I* goto
ftp://baudhous.synchro.net/00index.html and try to login (as anyone) I get
redirected to ftp://141.158.241.107/00index.html?$<random>

Similarly, the "New User" button redirects me to telnet://141.158.241.107

The only problem with that is 141.158.241.107 is not your IP address. Your IP
address is 151.199.251.66. So it looks like you have something configured wrong
somewhere. Check SCFG->Networks->Internet->Address and any host name settings
in SBBSCTRL->File->Properties->Advanced or your ctrl/sbbs.ini file.

I think the above explains why. :-)
