LinuxQuestions.org - Typical FTP problem!!

Hi,
My problem is somewhat similiar to the problem listed in following thread.

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=48062

I am running FTP server in Windows 2003 and is perfectly working fine with other windows and Linux clients within the internal LAN. But I am not able to connect to this Server from external client(Linux).
Let me describe about my network. I am running Linux firewall on gateway server. Windows FTP server is one of the internal LAN host. I have done nating to access the FTP server from external client. I am getting "227 entering passive mode" and after a while it times out. But I am able to see the directory and cd the desired directory. I am including configuration. I would be very thankful if anybody can help me.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!
