Connection to FTP Server of IIS @ win2k server doesnt work

[lukelukeluke]

Hi
I have a questions about Windows 2000 Server.

I set up an FTP Server with IIS. I configure a folder that i want to access with admin and i have annonymous turned off. Then i go to my other computer in the same network and try to connect. It works!
So i try another thing: I try to connect to it from an external computer. First it looks good. The access window apears. I type in admin account and password and klick OK. But then nothing happens anymore. In the status bar it says "trying to connect to 192.168.1.x". But thats an internal IP and i'm trying to connect from a Computer out of the network. Why does it not work there anymore?

BTw i have forwarded the port 21 to my comp in the network and have also typed in the outgoing adress when trying to connect. The access window also appears which means that im on the computer. But then it trys to connect to an internal ip. Any ideas?

(sorry for my bad english....)

Sounds like you have configured your FTP server to only listen on the internal NIC and not "all unassigned."

Right click the FTP Server and choose properties. Then select "all unassigned" for the IP address, or switch it ot the external IP if you won't need access internally.

Switch that and you should be good to go.

well it is on all unassigned.

It also works to connect to it with annonymous account. But ass oon as i want to set up for users only, the window for account enterings appears, i enter the account and klick ok. Then in the status bar appears "connecting to "192.168.1.35". But i'm not accessing from the internal network...

It sounds like you need a public ip address which should point to your router. You router should then re-router the request to you internal ip address.
