5. ip's are internal networks!

on the pc with the ftp on it, go to whatismyip.org and tell us that

it'll work if you've forwarded port 21 to the local ip of the ftp machine

Connection failed.

Oh! my bad

Try 198.52.202.130 or 41.240.5.50 ?

J1234 · 19 Mar 2008 at 15:25

Both of them failed.

Priapus · 19 Mar 2008 at 15:25

Damn. What am I doing wrong?

J1234 · 19 Mar 2008 at 15:26

Don't know.

Is the user name and password case sensitive?

bledd · 19 Mar 2008 at 15:27

did you go to whatismyip.org?

where are you running this? home, work?

quackers · 19 Mar 2008 at 15:28

Have you opened up port 21 if your behind a router/firewall?

quackers · 19 Mar 2008 at 15:30

or try www.grc.com and use shields up, see if port 21 is open/closed

Priapus · 19 Mar 2008 at 15:31

Yes, I think it's because it's a dynimic IP? I haven't opened up port 21 will now. Server is at work.

I got the 41 address off the mentioned website.

quackers · 19 Mar 2008 at 15:33

Make sure when you open the port, you point it to the right machine.

bledd · 19 Mar 2008 at 15:34

ask your network admin's for a hand mate, lord knows what setup you have

Priapus · 19 Mar 2008 at 15:36

Router looks very hard...hmm..

It's asking for source ip destination ip ect..

Unfortuantly I am the only one doing the network here.

bledd · 19 Mar 2008 at 15:41

look on portfordward.com for your router, should make sense there

should be able to find your external ip address from within the router too mate

this will get sorted in this forum mate, Networks is the friendliest section of the whole forum imo

quackers · 19 Mar 2008 at 15:48

Bledds right, we'll get it sorted for you mate. What type of router is it?

Priapus · 19 Mar 2008 at 17:12

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!

It's Shiro router. I won't be able to do much now, until I am back at work tomorrow. So can I post here tomorrow to carry on with this?

source IP is *probably* sources outside from the internet.
destination IP im 99% sure is the IP of the server itself.

source IP has to be set to *anything* and destination IP to the servers internal IP address

That makes sense. Will give it a shot tomorrow.

An internl private IP address (such as 192.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x) is no use as these are not routeable across the internet. Who is your ISP? Do they use Semi-static/dynamic IP addresses? If they use dynamic IP adresses then you should be able to request a static IP address but they will most likely charge extra for this.
