VSFTP with redhat 9.0

[sabbathunter]

i am still trying to set up a FTP server using redhat 9.0.

when i connect directly using the static IP address i gave it (192.x.x.x)i get a login screen and then i access it successfully.

however when i try to connect thru the internet using the IP address i got from the router (68.x.x.x) i dont get any log in screen.
instead i get the following error message

Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and you have permission to access this folder.

Details
A connection with the server cannot be established.
i also did the following

iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -d 37.135.42.8 --dport 21 -j DNAT --to 10.0.0.5:21

iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -d 10.0.0.5 --dport 21 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -d 68.x.x.x --dport 21 -j ACCEPT

substituting my internal address with the 10.0.0.5 and my public on into
68.x.x.x

what do i need to do to resolve this issue?

Which IP address did you use to connect to internet ?
If you used 192.x.x.x to connect to internet.That should not a problem.
And Which IP address did you use for your ftp server ?

Or you got IP Address (68.x.x.x) from your router as DHCP server.Sure, you got a routing problem between 2 different networks.

Sabba, you STILL are not enabling PORT 20 for FTP DATA!!!

port 20 is enabled on my router. but for some reason i wasnt able to connect from a windows xp box that is in the same network. but when my boss went to the 68.x.x.x site from home he got onto the FTP server, same for when i went to other computers on the network.

just that one computer cant get on.

but see new thread for different issue.
