clueless, glad to know that this works for you. I too have the same Belkin router as you and use BPFTP. I've set up all of the port forwarding on the router and BPFTP for passive (port forwarding ports 20, 21, 50000-50049; specified my external ip address for passive and port ranges 50000-50049 on BPFTP). My ftp site can be accessed if the connection from the client is via active ftp, but fails miserably via passive ftp. Via active, the client can login and view folders that they rights to just fine. Via passive, the client sees the login screen, tries to login, then gets an error saying that they do not have access to the folder. Any ideas on this?

I think I've got it!! I didn't have to turn the firewall off on the router. The following just needed to be set on port forwarding:
FTP1 port 20-20 type TCP forward to 192.168.2.x
FTP2 port 21-21 type TCP forward to 192.168.2.x
FTP3 ports 50000-50049 type TPC forward to 192.168.2.x

BPFTP:
specified my external ip for Multi-IP and ports 50000-50049 for passive ports.

Clients can now access my ftp server via acitive or passive connections.
