By the way, I tried to put the SOHO server in the gateway's DMZ. Didn't work.
I'm beginning to clue in that you get what you pay for, and it's time to either pony up the $$$ for Red Hat support or abandon Linux altogether for a friendlier server O/S like Mac OS X.
No, I am not running RH 7.3 as a gateway/firewall. I have a hardware gateway/router that also has a built-in firewall, and the gateway is configured to forward incoming traffic on ports 20, 21 and 65100-65500 to the SOHO server (which is on my local network at 192.168.0.4). Incoming isn't the...

Rather than beat my head against the wall, I'm going to try getting vsftpd up and running...
Oh, this can't be good. Nine days and no replies to your question? Ugh. I just posted a question yesterday about wu-ftpd configuration and nary a peep. I wonder if I should try elsewhere... *sigh*
Good luck--I hope you get an answer to your question before the end of the month.
I am at my wits end trying to configure WU-FTPD to work in passive mode behind a firewall. I am able to connect from the Internet to the WU-FTPD server, but when my client software (WS_FTP Pro for Windows v7.62) sends the PASV command, I get back a response that looks like this:
