FTP Server behind LAN Problems

Hi,

I`m having a few issues and I`m wondering if anyone can help?

I`m trying to set up an FTP server on my lan, but I can`t connect to the server.

Router/PC/Server specs
D-Link DSL-G624T Router
Windows XP Pro
Athlon 64 3500
2GB RAM
Bulletproof FTP server

I have added the PC into the virtual server settings in the router, and set up BPFTP as shown in the screen shows below:

Server Settings
Server Settings
Server Settings
Server Settings
Server Settings

The Router settings are shown below:

Router Settings

But when anyone tried to connect to the server they get an error:

This is the result of ipconfig /all

Code:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\Documents and Settings\Si>ipconfig /all

Any Help would be appreciated

 

Could you try connect your FTP server on your server machine itself?

 

If you mean trying ftp://localhost or ftp://192.168.1.22 then yes, it connects without problem

 

Yes, I meant that.

Now, you server works fine, but can't respone remote request.

Do you have any firewall on your server?

And you can use "netsh diag gui" to check your network setup, before scan, check everything.

Also, you can use" telnet 'your server' 21" to test on remote side.

 

No, I have disabled the firewall and AV on the server pc

Results for netsh diag gui are here (I`ve put the file into a zip file).

Also my ISP don`t block any ports

Still no joy

 

What's the result of "telnet 'your server' 21 " on the remote site?

 

Heres the result

could not open connection to the host, on port 21: connect failed

 

It is possible that your ISP blocks the port 21 or your router's configuration is not correct because you could ftp your server locally.

I would rather believe your ISP has blocked the port 21. To confirm it, you can do a test like,

connnect your server directly to the internet, and let remote site do "telnet 'your server' 21 ". Here you may use IP address to replace 'your server'.

 

That DLink Gui is diffrent than I'm used to looking at but It didn't look like you have port 21 UDP and TCP forwarded to 192.168.1.22

 

I`ve just tried it without using the router (direct connection to the net) and a friend could access the FTP without problems.

It seems as if the router is not port forwarding as it should do.

I have added the ports in the virtual server area

Settings 1
Settings 2

And The rules on the virtual server page

Virtual server rules

But still no joy as I done a port test on grc.com and it shows port 21 as stealth.

grc.com port scan results

 

Could you show us the "filters" setting in your router? Maybe when you enter the "filters ", you would find the culprit.

The term "filters" in your router is firewall.

 

I think I`ve got it working.
There was a hidden setting on the firewall page that wasn`t displayed in firefox, but was in IE.

Can someone test it for me please?

Using an ftp client

FTP host: sford999.no-ip.org
FTP Port: 21
Username: test
Password: test

 

Congratulations!
