I'm using a Linksys BEFSR41 router and Bulletproof ftp to setup a temporary FTP server on my computer...

I used port forwarding with a range of 20-31 and I am NOT using passive mode in my FTP software. The problem is, whenever someone wants to connect.. they always get stuck when the message "Entering passive mode" comes up.. I noticed that pretty much everyone is using Internet Explorer when they're trying to connect..

I have yet to see someone try to connect with a real FTP client so could IE be the problem? If so.. is there anything I can do about it?
