Hi all
Cant seem to get an FTP server working...
heres the setup
Cable Modem > Belkin Router > PC......FTP Client....(WSFTP Server)
Ok so I port forwarded port 20 and 21 in the Belkin Router setup as per portforwarding and Belkins own tech page...
The address of the PC is 192.168.2.10, if I enter this as an FTP address I can reach it and login OK
If I enter the outward facing IP address (the one the router is assigned by the cable modem) I cant connect,
It seems that even though the router is told to forward port 20-21 to IP 192.168.2.10 on the internal network, it wont, and connections are refused.
I have double checked the setup a few times, but it still wont let me FTP to the IP address assigned by the cable modem to the router.....
Any ideas, yes the router has the latest firmware, and I know if there is no suggestions then its a case of remove the router, I cant do that yet its in use by the family, and see if it connects, that is the next step, but i'm decorating at the moment so it will have to wait.
Even if I prove the router to be at fault, by connecting straight to the cable modem, what can I do with the router, will Belkin take it back or will I have to buy a new one...
Regards
