ftp doesnt accept non-local connections
 

im running redhat 9 with vsftpd, and for some strange reason only local connections can connect to my box via ftp. firewall is set to accept ftp, http, ssh, dhcp.. it allows http connections from non local users and ssh, just not ftp...

heres vsftpd.conf

any ideas?

It does sound like a firewall problem can you post the output of:
iptables -L

Oh - what error do you get from the clients?

a
 

iptables -L

when attempting to connect i get a generic error message basically stating there it no connection to the server whatsoever
