Still no luck. I have the following port forwards defined:
FTP 10024 - 10050 TCP 192.168.2. 75 10024 -
10050
FTP 21 - 21 TCP 192.168.2. 75 21 - 21
In my FTP server config, I have "Use passive mode IP"
checked, and I gave it my dyndns.org hostname as the
dynamic IP. (It specifically says it will resolve those.)
Then below that I have the passive port range set to
start at 10024 and end at 10050.
Thanks again!
