Setting up an FTP with Serv-U

[thirtythree]

I'm having trouble setting up an FTP with Serv-U, I'm guessing because it is only listening on 192.168.0.3 and 127.0.0.1. This computer is connected to the internet through a server (home network). I also tried connecting to the FTP using the servers IP addresses. I really have no idea what I am doing (obviously). Any ideas?

do u have static or dynamic ip? are u using any firewall? I'll assume u are. The ports you need to forward are port 21 and then a range of high ports for passive mode. Then in serv-u u have to add you real ip.

I have a dynamic IP. I already have the server working on the computer connected directly to the internet and am using a program to automatically update my IP address. I'm not running a firewall .. How do I forward ports?

Aslong as he is listening on his one and only nic, which seems to be the 192.168.0.3 addy, then if he forwords the ports from his router/gateway to that addy why would he add another addy that he can even see with out going out to the web and back in?

What are you using to share your internet connection. What is the set up. If a router Brand and Model #. If a gateway box and a switch, what OS and how are u sharing it? More infor is needed.

I am running Win2k but the computer connected to the internet is running 98SE. I am sharing with Windows internet connection sharing...

You can configure which port(s) Serv-U uses. Set it to a high numbered port, to ensure that it's not using the same port as another application, for example 80 or 21, then consult your router (or operating system?) documentation to find out how to forward ports. Give it a bit of slack..for example, if you chose port 2200 above for Serv-U to use, then forward ports 2190 to 2210 to your machine's IP.

you have a router?
what ppl are trying to tell you is that you must forward the IP of your internet connection to the IP of your pc in order to make it to work.

For example,
IP of your internet connection is 210.115.15.44 (let's call it IP1)
IP of the PC that has Serv-U installed 192.168.100.1 (let's call it IP2)

IP2 is invisible to the outside of your network. Other machine can only see IP1. In order to make your Serv-U works, you must point the FTP connection (default is port 21) from outside to IP1 to IP2 which means everytime there is a connection to port 21 @ IP1, it'll forward that connection to IP2. In Serve-U, only IP1 is entered as the IP of the FTP server.

If you have a router, the task is very simple by using the feature called PORT FORWARDING or VIRTUAL SERVER, just ENABLE the port # (default is port 21) and enter the IP address of your pc (IP2, in this example)

Honestly, I don't know how to do that with Internet Connection Sharing because I never use it.
