need help receiving files through a router that I have on my computer.

I have 2 computers which are linked through a router and I have cable internet access. I recently put bulletproof FTP server on one of the computers and removed the firewall that was on it.

I opened up ports 20 and 21 according to the D-Link instructions that are on the D-link.com website. I have Dlink DI-604 router.

Someone is trying to FTP me files and I can't seem to receive them. He is getting a timeout.

Can someone give me instructions (preferably screenshots) that would guide me in the 1-2 steps I am missing in getting this setup?


Cheers,
yousaf FAYYAZ.

make sure your software firewall is not blocking the ports:
iptables -nL
