[SOLVED] FTP Port forwarding

havoc928 · 08-20-2008, 07:40 PM

ok i decided to set up an FTP server using crossftp so i can access files on my laptop when im traveling, once i got it set up everything works but only on LAN and when i logged to a diffrent network to see if it worked it did not so i need to port forward my router so it lets crossftp through but it cant figure out how to do that through my router settings. i am using a 2WIRE 2701HG-B and my ISP is at&t.

thanks much.

This might be what you are looking for How do I open or map ports in the HomePortal firewall?. There are a lot of other articles in their knowledge base too.

Cheers!
