I have an ftp server that I created. I have both dynamic and static DNS addresses. However I have a problem connecting. The thing is, my computer is networked at home, and the IP address of the computer is the usual 192.161.1.X

My bftp server sees both that IP address and the one the comes into the router 1X.1X9.X39.X28. but when i try to connect to it, it doesn't find it since it has two different IP addresses. I'm wondering if someone knows a way to fix it. A way that I can connect to my computer on a network.

Wrong forum, but route port 21 to the internal network IP address of the system running that ftp server.

also keep in mind that hosting an ftp server is probably against your ISP's terms of service and many of them do activly look on port 21 for this type of server, you may consider hosting it on a nonstandard port (ex: 6100).
