This is getting right on my nerves.

I have done the following:

installed IIS and am running a site on a windows 2003 server on port 21.
I can connect to it internally on ftp://192.168.1.101:21
I have set my router to enable port forwarding 21 on IP 192.168.1.101.
My external iP is ftp://80.195.11.160:21.

Users say they cannot connect as it says connecting and then times out. What reason could this be? I have allowed all access. The ftp is running and the service. Windows firewall on the PC is disabled.

I cannot think of any more.

Are you on Be/o2? Their standard router has an FTP sevice which you need to disable.
 
be/02 sounds like a boyband. I have a linksys router. i've enabled it:/
 
You should now have the dirs testdir, and inside that the dir hello_how_are_you inside that one in your anonymous login root
 
so does that imply its actually working? why do some people struggle then?

Looks like your FTP server is trying to work in passive mode

I'd turn the anonymous access off, otherwise you'll have everyone uploading and downloading from your ftp site. Create a new user and give it some permissions on the directory and then try it
