Description: I have 2 computers.
1st computer is directly connected to the internet and has 2 nics.
2nd computer is connected to the internet thru ICS thru the 1st computer.

Problem: I already have ftp setup on the first computer, but i also want to setup a ftp for my 2nd computer. But i can't seem to connect to the 2nd computer using ftp client on the 1st computer. Can some1 help me? I'm using Flashfxp for client and Serv-U ftp for server. Thanx
 
No, I'm connecting to my external IP. I'm trying to setup the ftp so any1 could access it. BTW this is for the ignorant 2nd guy that "tried" to help me, ICS is basically a router. I even setup the service to port foward.
 
i agree go w/ a router...i've been trying to setup ICS for the past week to network 2 pcs that are 15 ft apart....it's been one big pain; i can go online w/ both but they dont seem to see each other on the network....gonna wait for a router deal now...it will be so much easier
 
Won't work the way you are doing it. You will need to setup the ftp server program to run on a port other then the standard port, and then have the system that is connected to the internet setup port forwarding to send all connections to that port over to the ICS'ed computer.

It would be the same even with a router. The reason is because you can't access BOTH systems from ftp (or any sharded service) because you can only have ONE of those systems accepting the access from the internet on that port. So you need to either have them running on non-standard ports or pay for a second IP address from your ISP.
