FTP server behind MN-700

I'm trying to open port 21 for my FTP server but clients
are still not being let through. I have a persistent
forwarding entry called FTP, inbound port 21, TCP,
private port 21, IP 192.168.2.75. I still have my server
set up to use DHCP, but it's the only machine on my
network so it will always just renew. Connecting clients
hang for about a minute and then give an error
of "unknown error number," and nothing happens in the FTP
console so I assume the router is the problem.

Is there something else I need to be doing?
Thanks in advance!

You need to setup passive ftp ports (as it is likely your clients are trying
to establish a passive ftp connection).

Is this done in the router or the server?

Both.

Forward ports on the server
Then tell the FTP server program to use those ports for Passive Mode FTP and
tell the FTP server to use your WAN ip as the passive mode ip.

Okay, last question: the router forces you to enter port
ranges that are the same length. What do I put for the
inbound port range? The server is on port 21.
Thanks

For passive mode?
Anything you want.

Doesn't matter, as long as you tell your FTP server to use those same ports
you forwarded.

I'd pick something sufficiently high (30000-30050 or whatever)

I guess I don't understand how using those port numbers
will work when the clients are trying to connect on port
21. Anyway, I set it up like this and it doesn't work:

FTP 10024 - 10050 TCP 192.168.2.75 10024 -
10050

You need both entries
one port forward for port 21 (for connection)
one set of port fowards for passive mode)

Still no luck. I have the following port forwards defined:
FTP 10024 - 10050 TCP 192.168.2. 75 10024 -
10050
FTP 21 - 21 TCP 192.168.2. 75 21 - 21

In my FTP server config, I have "Use passive mode IP"
checked, and I gave it my dyndns.org hostname as the
dynamic IP. (It specifically says it will resolve those.)
Then below that I have the passive port range set to
start at 10024 and end at 10050.

Thanks again!
