win2k ICS port forwarding

I have a win2k box that splits the cable modem i have to a local lan of 4 computers using ICS. What i am attempting to do is run a warftp server off of one of the computers in the lan. I know i need to configure ICS to forward the port to the lan comp. I've gone to the ICS settings and in the services tab, turned on the ftp service. Not sure what exactly that was doing but any info you guys can provide would be helpful. Any websites out there that has the info i'm looking for? thanks in advance
 
How are your lan computer getting IP's? Are they getting them through static or dynamic(DHCP) ? If they're getting them through static, just foward the incoming port number to the appropriate computer on the lan (with the correct ip). In the ICS settings there are boxes that will allow you to forward basic services like ftp, telnet or allow you to customize.
 
hrm the lan is setup with static ip's.
thus far i have done this:
in win2k ics setup i've turned on the ftp service and was only allowed to input the lan ip which i did. I had no options for changing the port forwarded which was 21. so on my ftp hosting computer i should setup the ftp server to base itself off of port 21 also right?
then the test, ftp into the ip address for my win2k box.
i havent been able to get into the server successfully.
 
You may have to run your ftp server on the same computer that runs ICS. ICS has very limited capabilities to forward network packets/ports.
