Compare the TCP settings on the 2 machines - this includes options 10 
and 12. Others have mentioned DNS, but I didn't see host tables 
mentioned - I didn't look at all the posts. 12 lets you specify your DNS 
- just like you do for TCP/IP properties for network setups in Windows. 
12 also says whether to search the DNS first, or to go to your hosts 
table. For performance, it is often recommended to set this to *LOCAL, 
which means the host table - as here -

Host name search priority  . . .   *LOCAL        *REMOTE, *LOCAL, *SAME

Now 10 is the host table. This is where you put IP addresses and the 
domain (host) names you want to be able to use. Yes, I know, you're 
supposed to use DNS, not host tables. But really, one uses both. Be sure 
that your ftp.whatever.com is either in the hosts table of the v5r3 box, 
or that the DNS setting is the same on both boxes. This assumes the 
ftp.whatever.com is NOT in option 10 of the v6r1 box.
