3com gateway

[Dia]

I have a 3com gateway(3c857) and i wanted to access my ftp server from the internet but for some reason i can't, i can access the ftp server from the lan and i have configurated the gateway virtual server to redirect any request to connect to port 21 to the ftp server.
Does any one have any idea of what i am doing wrong?

Re: 3com gateway

What method are you using to access the FTP server? Do you have a domain name, or are you just using your IP address?

Re: 3com gateway

I just use my ip dress, let's say that 110.35.1.67 is my wan ip i would just type that ip dress in explorer like this: ftp:\\110.35.1.67

Try putting this into the address bar:

110.35.1.67:21

Re: 3com gateway

That didn't work but i finally found the problem, i dunno why but the ftp server didn't see the gateway with dynamically mode on(didn't got the ip address of the gateway) so i tried it with static mode (you give the ip dress of the server with sub net mask , gateway , and dns server if needed) and it worked :)
Thx for the help :D
