Olivier,
I would recommend that you check the value of
Info-directory-list variable.
This tells "info" where to look for the info files.
Another way to disable ange-ftp is to do
(setq file-name-handler-alist nil)
Ange-ftp is activated because the name of a file that you
are loading matches one of the regular expressions in
file-name-handler-alist variable.
My guess as to to cause of problem is that your
Info-directory-list has a path of the form
"/address@hidden:/a/b/c" which matches one of the
regexp's in file-name-handler-alist.
