Split by Cruzz563, from the "Active FTP" thread
 
i dont know what im doing wrong im on my laptop and im connected to my comp through a wirless router does that have to do with anything?
I'm using quick and easy FTP
 
Don't know... Maybe open up some ports on your router?
 
can you try again with this ip 192.168.2.2 same thing with username and password skyline r34skyline thanks
 
That's your internal network IP. You might want to make a separate thread for this sort of thing.
 
Yeah, I'm going to split it...erm Technology I guess :)
 
hahah weeee i cant connect to 192.168.2.2 lol.

make sure you get your external IP from your router, and make sure you port forward (doable i your routers settings) port 21 or what ever port you choe for your ftp server to the right internal IP address.
 
When you have a router, you need to forward port 20-21 (or the port where you're running your ftp, but these are the defaults) to your pc. But first of all, you need to test within your network to see if the server works.
You also can't have a dynamic IP (from ISP and within network).
I can't tell you exactly how to port forward, bc it's different on every router, but when you go into the configuration of your router, you need to search for port forward. Just set the ports 20 and 21 to be forwarded to the IP of your computer WITHIN THE NETWORK (192.168.2.x most probabaly in you case, where x is a number). Then, when you want other people from outside the network to access your ftp, you need to give them your IP from outside the network (you can check this here). When you have a dynamic IP, you need to setup a no-ip account (or something similar, if you need help with this, just ask, but not going to explain now).

Hope this helps.

PS: when you're running WinXP (only Pro I think), you don't really need any software, bc Windows can set this up. But it's better to install software for this.

I kinda understand what your saying and I found this website http://www.portforward.com/dell/truemobile2300-portforwarding.htm that tells me how to port foward with my router except im confused with the end part. I followed all of the steps and i think my ftp is still not working

Do you mean the entire part 9? And is it working from inside the network? Also keep in mind that you need to put ftp in front of you url(ie: ftp:\\192.168.2.2). This way you don't need to specify the port you're using (after : , ie: 192.168.2.2:20). You could also try to connect with an ftp program. But before we can test it, you have to make sure it works from inside the network.
