Hello everyone...here's a fun one...
I'm running a small network connected to the outside world via cable modem. all traffic passes through a linksys firewall/router. I'm currently running an ftp site on machine 1.3, using port 21. I have opened ports 20 and 21 and forwarded them to machine ip 1.3. everything's fine up ro here..site works fine.
I would now like to setup another FTP stie on andifferent machine, 1.6. I can set the ftp server on 1.6 to use an alternate port (88, for example), and forward requests on 88 in the router to 1.6. that seems fine internally, but no one outside my network can get to it. is this a problem with the fact that I have port 20 forwarded to machine 1.3? how should I be properly setting this up so one FTP runs on 21, and the other on 88 and they are both accessable from the outside world? I would really appreciate any input...
Thanks
