Ok, I usually go to personal FTP site's to download files but these site's are IP protected and I have to use FlashFXP to enable this ident feature. Well since I've gotten this router (Linksys Cable/DSL router with 4 port switch) I haven't been able to get onto my FTP site. I don't believe that this site is down but I'm leaning more towards an ident problem. When I was using a certain port (113) I was not able to use this ident feature because it idents on port 113. But anyways, I was just wondering if other people have had problems connecting to FTPs while being behind this router. Also I just did a quick test and I can't get on a FTP that requires passive mode. Thank You for any feedback..

Your Router shouldn't block anything outgoing like that, or did you try forwarding the ports to your pc?
