vsftpd user anonymous cannot log in from outside ?

Hello,

I have installed vsftpd on RH9. Within the local network everything is ok, I
can connect as anonymous. But when the connection is made from the outside,
the message is : "530 User anonymous cannot log in".

I have checked every configuration options in order to allow anonymous
login, but I could'nt find the one I have to change.

Any help appreciated,
Regards,
Vincent

Are You sure You have properly configured TCP wrappers? (/etc/hosts.allow
and /etc/hosts.deny)?

Thank you Prezu,

After some more testing it appears that the server will accept connections
from the outside. My friends can connect, only I can't connect from home.
When I connect from home using my external ip address, it seems that I
actually reach another FTP server : probably the FTP server of my provider,
or the FTP server inside my ADSL router... And the error message I received
was not from MY FTP server! Well there is something still obscure here...

Sincerely,
Vincent
