forwarding port 21

hey all,

on my MN500, i'm trying to forward port 21 in the persistant port forwarding
settings, but after i check "enable" and hit apply, on the subsequent page
refresh, it does not appear in the list of forwarded ports. i've got the
latest firmware. what's goin on?

....this also happens when trying to forward the VNC port 5800 as well as
PASV ports 2048 - 2148. all of this fails via the web interface as well as
through the advanced settings dialog box when editing properties of the base
station via the netowork connections window. the latter actuall gives an
error message of "Configuration of Port Mappings Failed"

i can succesfully forward other ports (for example, 10000)

any MVP's or MS folks have any clue why this could be happening?

Try resetting the router to factory defaults and try it again.
