Hi everybody!

I am trying to set up a FTP server at home. Currently, my machine is behind a router that is connected to the internet and I am using a GNET router and SERV-U as my FTP server.

I know that I have to forward any packets coming into port 21 into my machine, and I have done so. However, I don't know why I am still unable to set up my ftp. My DNS seems to route properly to my external ip.

Please post / email any advice that you guys have. THX a lot!
