cannot open ftp site

Hello, I'm running Suse 8.2, KDE 3.1.1 and konqui as my web browser. I can access all internet web pages just fine with konqui except for ftp:// sites. After a while of loading page (eg. ftp://ftp.suse.de/) i get 'Can not connect to localhost'. Other utils, such as Kbear work fine, it is just konqui that cannot access ftp pages. Has anyone had similar problems ? regards, himba -- This €-mail was Kmailed.
