Could you post a transcript of a session with the NT server? Choose "Fetch Transcript" from the Window menu to reveal the transcript.

I'm having the same trouble. We're using OS 9.1, have tried Fetch 3.03, 4.0b7, and 4.0. Upon connecting, status says getting list, and list is shown, but dog continues to run. We can upload, but downloads drag on forever, until usually a 'the connection was reset by the server" comment. (and we're on a t1 line).
The transcript reveals:500 'ADAT Hi there, do you support security?': command not understood
-and-
MACB ENABLE
500 'MACB ENABLE': command not understood
SITE DIRSTYLE
200 MSDOS-like directory output is on

There appears to be a problem with Service Pack 6 for Windows NT 4. I put a change in Fetch 4.0 to try to work around it, but clearly it does not completely solve the problem.
Other users who have contacted Microsoft have been told to copy the TCPIP.SYS file from Service Pack 5. Upgrading the server to Windows 2000 might be another option.

I'm having similar problems with Windows NT 4.0, however, I only have service pack 3 (running a Hummingbird Exceed FTP server) at work. And no, Windows 2000 is not a possibility. I don't control what my company puts on my computer, alas. If I had a choice, it would be a Ma, not a PC.
I do get a list of the files, containing Name, but nothing in the Kind, Size, or Date columns. Also there are no subdirectories listed. I can get into the subdirectories by typing them into the Change Directory box. Refreshing the file list does not help. (That's the only thing you suggest under Troubleshooting in your Help menu.)
Here is the Fetch Transcript window:

ackerman:
Could you give the "View File List" command in the Remote menu and post the results? It sounds like the Hummingbird server uses a non-standard file list format.

Here's a few lines (many more if you want them):

The Hummingbird server does not look like a Unix server, so Fetch does not expect its file list to look like ls -l. I will see about fixing that.
Thanks,

I had the same problem show up after upgrading our internet connection to two T1s using packet based load balancing. After reading these posts, we reloaded an nt box and put service pack 5 on. We copied the tcpip.sys file to our ftp server running sp6 and it definately fixed our problem.

ochen: Could you describe the problem you are seeing? The transcript line about "MACB" is normal -- it does not indicate a problem.
Thanks,

Using V4 on OS X I can sucessfully log into NT servers but it 'hangs' when trying to list the files in a directory. I give up after a few minutes and cancel the operation and it stays connected but I'm unable to upload/download anything
I dont have this problem on UNIX servers or with Fetch 3 under OS 9.1
I've tried PASV mode without success
