Linksys and FileZilla

I want to have my own FTP-site on my computer which makes it possible
for customers to download files . It seemed to me FileZilla Server was
the solution, but I cannot get it to work.

I use Windows XP with its firewall and Linksys WRT54GL-router.

I have:

-Opened up my firewall for FTP port 21 access
-Unchecked Block Anonymous Internet Requests in the Linksys Router
-Under Application and Gaming i put port 21 and 2200 to 2300 to my
local IP - 192.168.1.100.
-In FileZilla Passive Mode Settings I put retrieve external IP adress
from (I have dynamic IP) and Use Custom Port Range 2200 to 2300 and
Don't use external IP for local connections
-I have made a user client with connection to a folder on my computer

I try putting my current external IP in an FTP-client with username and
password, but it has no effect.

What am I forgetting here or doing wrong.

Thanks for all help!

Sincerely

Port-forward BOTH TCP ports 20 and 21 to the statically set IP address of the FTP server,
192.168.1.100

I tried that, but it didn't help.

I manage to connect to the server from another LAN PC, using
FTP://192.168.1.100

But from outside it is blocked! Is it possible it is my ISP??

Bypass the Router and hook a PC directly to the Cable or DSL modem.

Then try and FTP connection from the POV of the internet to your IP

ftp://84.209.208.47 ?

1. Do NOT top post...

2. Yes, very possible it is blocked by your ISP.

I found out that yes port 21 must be blocked from my ISP. If I use 2121
(someone else used it!?) it worked OK. The only problem now is I can
only connect using an Internet Explorer window from a PC with Windows
XP. I have tried Core FTP and Filezilla Client without luck. Not a big
problem, but why??

They are interested in limiting abuse of right management to a certain
extent, but mostly are interested in limiting bandwidth hogging caused
by people running servers sharing music and software.

Thank you for yor responce. But why does only FTP'ing with an explorer
window work and not an FTP-client?
