Setting up an FTP, etc. etc.
I just got Sprint FastConnect aDSL... I am having trouble with it, I've been trying to set up an ftp but I can never connect to it from an outside computer, nor can my friends. I've tried reinstalling windows, changing port permissions, making sure all my firewalls were disabled(I even uninstalled them), I've called Sprint a few times and asked them for help but they keep telling me the same thing; ' It's a software problem, our modems don't block any ports '. They also told me my modem acts as a router, so I do believe it blocks ports but they insist that it doesn't. I can surf the internet just fine and connect to other people. I've also tried to run a file server on mIRC and people just get ' Unable To Connect '... I would change ISPs but Sprint is the only broadband provider in my area, unless I wanna pay 50 dollars a month for 64k ISDN. I've also tried letting people connect to my computer remotely using WinVNC and I've tried using Serv-U FTP and Bulletproof g6 as FTPs. Nothing works and I was hoping someone on this forum could help ? I'm begging. I've tried to include everything you might ask me.. Hehe :) Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.
