FTP host thru router

My FTP host is accessible but if I place the host behind a router it is
no longer accessible. The host PC's local IP is DMZed by the router
setting and WXP firewall is turned off. No other firewall is used.
I wonder What I am doing wrong. Please help.

In news:%(E-Mail Removed),
churin <(E-Mail Removed)> stated, which I commented on below:

May I assume the sentence below means that you's port remapped TCP 21 and
TCP 20 to the internal private IP of the FTP server?
> "The host PC's local IP is DMZed by the

If not, can you elaborate?

Also, how are you trying to contect? By name or IP address of the router,
and I assuming from the Internet, correct?
