I've decided to have a bash at running an FTP server at home, I'll probably get a spare comp to run it on when I get chance but until then I thought I'd have a go at getting it up and running.

I've set it up fine with a test folder to share and I can connect locally using IP 127.0.0.1 however I cant get it to connect with either my local IP address 192.168.1.2 or my external one!

I'm running XP home and no software firewall, as there is one on the wireless router (dlink G604T). I'm at a loss as to why I can't log on, I've set up port forwarding and opened port 21 on the router but I still cant connect.

Have you guys got any ideas?

UPDATE - After a restart I've managed to connect to my local IP address (192.168.1.1) but still can't access it from my external IP!
