How can I set up my ftp server ?

[gomcse]

I have 2 win98 se computer at work and share 1 ip address with my Linksys Ethernet Cable / DSL Router. As far as I know I know all my computers are behind the firewall.
I am currently using 192.168.1.101 and 192.168.1.102 for my internal network.
I would like to know how to set up the
Serv-U FTP-Serve Version 2.5b, in order to let people come into my ftp sitte, even though I am behing the hardware fireall.

Assume my real ip is 24.113.20.25

you need to go into the configuration of the router and forward the port you want people to connect with to the system with the ftp server. so if they were to connect on port 21 you would need to forward port 21 from the router to the ftp server.

I want to do the same thing and i have the linksys router. The router assigns me (or everyone who has one) the IP 192.168.1.101 and .102 with my other computer. It can't be possible to us this IP.

Cory:
You tell the router to forward port 21 to the internal IP address (192.168.0.101, 102, etc).. and then you use the ISP assigned ip address to get to the server from the outside.. When a connection comes into the router from the internet (via your isp assigned IP), the router will forward it to the machine you assigned.

I have one win2k server with IIS 5 behind a linksys router (a firewall). I have set up a ftp site by using IIS5. User name and password both are anonymous. In fact, I have already forward the server machine ip address, 192.168.1.105 to port 21. It is very strange that I can only able to my ftp site by typing in "192.168.1.105" with port #21 by using ws_ftp pro 6.6 within my LAN network.
However, if I ask my friend to log into my ftp site by typing in my real ip address,they cannot get in.

May I know how can I fix it ??

I'ld suggest trying to work out the problems using the Serv-U FTP program before the FTP server on W2K. It seems simpler.

Keep in mind FTP can also uses port 20 for the data stream so that may be getting filtered out.
I don't have access to a Linksys Ethernet Cable/DSL Router so I'm not sure how that applies in your case.

Can the WWW service be access from the Internet?
