PLEASE much needed help

#1 Post by crazy8 » 2006-03-27 05:46

Ok im having alot of issues here.I usually dont need help with this kind of stuff but i dont know what else to do anymore and need help in seeing if i am doing something wrong or what the deal is.Ok so im trying to beable to FTP to my buddies machine at his house from mine at my house.Here is our set up.

-HIS-
Laptop w/Belkin 802.11g card>>Belkin wirless router>>Cable Modem
Running Filezilla Server software on Windows XP
Router: Port 21 is forwarded his laptops internal IP 192.168.2.2
Mcafee Firewall: Port 21 is open
Static IP for laptop but not for router. (should this be changed in anyway?)

-Mine-
Desktop w/D-link 802.11b USB>>Linksys router>>Cable Modem
Running Filezilla Client software on Windows XP
Router: Port 21 is forwarded to my internal IP 192.168.1.103
Mcafee Firewall: Port 21 is open
PC does not have static IP and router is also setup as DHCP.(Should I change any of this?)

Is there anything im missing or doing wrong?I sit here at my PC and so far have not even been able to connect yet.What are some things I could check? What else can I do to get this working?I have tried other programs and still no luck in actually establishing a connection with his system.I also have run a port scan against his routers IP and it doesnt pick up on port 21 being open.I dont get why this isnt working.Any ideas, anything at all?Help would be greatly appreciated.

can you connect to other FTP sites? try ftp.microsoft.com

that can help determine if the problem is on your end or his.

besides the mcafee firewall, make sure the windows firewall is letting ftp traffic through and that both are set to allow the server program explicit access to the internet.

On your end, make sure filezilla is explicitly granted access on both mcafee and windows firewalls.

Also, some ISPs disable incoming traffic over ports 21, 25 and 80 in order to shut down default ports for servers. Try running on a different port like 321 or whatever.

well i tried ftp.microsoft.com.I can FTP to it in a browser and in another FTP program called CoreFTP but I was unable to do it in Filezilla.As far as windows firewall i have that turned "off" on both of our systems since we are using mcafee.

Does it matter if im not using PASV?I dont know a whole lot about this stuff so thought id ask about it. :D

Passive mode FTP was created to bypass filters on port 20 and 21. It may help you in your case.

If you get "530 Not logged in, user account has been disabled" please make sure that account is enabled in the users dialog of the admin interaface of FZS.
