I type ftp://ftp.mysite.com in the address bar. When the computer loades the site the windows logon window opens. I type in username [email]support@mysite.com[/email] and a password. One of the computers logs me in as user [email]support@mysite.com[/email] the other logs in as user anonymous.

The only thing I can think of at the moment that might help is to go to Internet Options control panel->Security->Internet Zone->Custom Level->User Authentication and see if the logon preference is set the same on both machines.
