[PLUG] problems uploading through browser/ftping

["jon" <jon@jonroig.com>]

Ok.... so maybe I'm missing something here, but I'm having some weird
problems accessing my box @ home from outside the network.

It's a Mandrake 8.2 box running PHP 4.1.2 and wu-ftp 2.6.2. I've got a
D-Link router running on there as well, acting as a firewall.

Here's the issue, if I'm inside the firewall I can connect to the server @
www.gokart4xmas.com or by its numeric IP no problem, but when I try, for
instance, to access the ftp server by name, my client says "Failed to
establish data socket." It works fine, if I use the 192.168.x.x address
internally.

It does, however, give me the welcome message in either case.

>From outside, I get the welcome message but no "data socket" no matter what.

Same thing goes for the webserver -- apache is up and running fine, but if I
try and upload, I get the same behavior described above.

Any ideas? Did I manage to block something I shouldn't have? If that's the
case, why would it fail behind the firewall? Feel free to portscan me, if
that'll help -- 66.149.101.186...

Thanks a lot,
	-- jon
