Recommended Posts

I have a Linksys DSL Router with a firewall included with it (Built-in to router). I have set port forwarding on my router so that people that access my FTP access it on my computer. The problem is, it dont work...Any ideas?

My Microsoft Wireless networking base, is also a wireless router.

My port forwarding works...

Here is what yours should look like, well, at least the fTp line

Private IP= Your network address IP (ex: 192.168.0.1)

Hi gamehead200

I had the same probs with my linksys router. I've found the following way only to make the things work :

Look at the advanced config menu under the toppic "DMZ Host" and enter the IP of your FTP Server here (comment of linksys :This feature sets a local user to be exposed to the Internet. Any user on the Internet can access in/out data from the DMZ host. Enable the feature as you wish to use special-purpose service). So when you use this feature, be shure to have a firewall installed on your FTP machine and make the port 21 available !

Oh... and another tip : The Linksys Routers are available at 192.168.1.xxx. Be shure to have your local network in the same address range (192.168.1.xxx with a Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0)
