FTP through Router/Can not reach my PC from outside world?


Hello,

I have an ADSL Router. I can reach the outside world with FTP, SSH and TELNET but I can not reach my own computer from outside world. The ip I got is 10.0.0.150 which is ofcourse only valid between the router and my ethernet card. I really need to be able to FTP to my computer from the outside world. What should I do? I am able telnet to the router to change the routing table but I do not know in which way to change it? How can I see my ip for the outside world?

Thank you!

you would need to enable port forwarding on the router to reach your internal nodes for certain ports. portforward.com contains step by step guides for many many popular adsl routers.

Thank you for the webpage! I did the port forwarding but still I can not reach my computer.my internal ip is 10.0.0.150. I did portforwarding for port 21. The external ip of my router is 84.87.52.245 What happens is that I can ping 84.87.52.245 from my computer but I can not ftp to it. But from another computer in the internet I can not even ping 84.85.52.245.

What can be the reason?

Thanks!

note: I can ftp 10.0.0.150

as a security issue you shouldn't be able to ping from the internet, but this is wholly down to the router's configuration. if you can't open an ftp connection from the internet, then you've just plain done something wrong..!
