Issues with connecting to my ftp! HELP!!!

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.
