colemancb Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hey there. I was trying to set up an FTP server inside a virtual machine, but could not access it through the internet (only on my local network) So, assuming the VM was a problem, now I am just trying to get it to run on my host machine with no luck. I have all my ports forwarded and have even tried straight up turning off my firewall with no luck.Seems also changing the FTP server's port has no luck. Any suggestions?Also, if it matters, I am running Verizon DSL and have found no info that states that they do not allow servers / block any ports.

Guest Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Did you do the DSL modem also? On my DSL (not Verizon) I would most likely have to port forward my router plus the modem. The modem itself acts as a router. Edited July 22, 2009 by -X- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colemancb Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 The modem and the router are one, and I have went as far as totally disabling the firewall with no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) What operating system? Hardware firewall built in to the modem/router or software? The one that comes with Windows or something else? Edited July 22, 2009 by -X- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colemancb Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Windows XP Professional. Windows Firewall is off, and the firewall is built into the router. The model number is a Westel 7500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Ok are you on the standard FTP port (21) and if so can you try changing it. Maybe Verizon blocks 21? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colemancb Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 AFAIK they do block 21. I have tried everything, from 8080/8081 to 990 using SSL to any combination of random numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
