FTP & Telnet

[BearDG]

I am having difficulty getting FTP and Telnet (ports 21 and 23) to work throught my router to the internet. Yet on my internal network both work using the SCO Sys:IP address (192.168.1.45).
When using IP forwarding through my Linksys router it doesn't work.
Even if I directly connect to the DSL modem and change the IP address to my static IP address it still doesn't work. (I couldn't set up the DNS address when direct connected don't know how)
Any suggestions.

I have no idea what you are asking.

Is it that you want to telnet/ftp IN or OUT?

faq58-1426 covers setting up DNS.

If you are going through a NAT router, normal FTP doesn't work- you need passive mode or something to masquerade it.- see

You've got to do a better job explaining what your problems are- "doesn't work" doesn't help.

I have gotten this to work with the linksys router on several of my customers sites, you need to have the default gateway on the SCO box set to the address of the linksys (usually 192.168.1.1) see:

This should be all you need to do but you might need to add
the primary and secondary DNS
addresses of your ISP in /etc/resolv.conf. in this format:
hostresorder local bind
nameserver X.X.X.X
nameserver X.X.X.X
Hope this helps, it has worked for me at several sites.
