NTL do allow services. They have a few ports blocked (Windows File & Print and MSSQL) but FTP should be open. I can use SSH on my machine without any problems.

Im using Serv-U trial version FTP server under windows XP. Will give more details when I get home tonight.

Check your IP address again when you do - NTL change it every two weeks or so.

OK. Checked IP address and its found three on that computer.
1) 81.106.67.7
2) 192.168.0.1
3) 127.0.0.1

1 is for the network card connected to NTL
2 is for the network card on the LAN
3 is ????

The software is Serv-U 4.1. I can connect to 1 & 2 through the LAN on another computer. Can anyone else connect?

The IP addresses look correct, 81.106.67.7 is your public IP address, 192.168.0.1 is just for your home network, 127.0.0.1 is a special one called the loopback address - dont worry about it.

First thought, do you have XPs built-in firewall enabled on the NTL network card? If you look in the network connections dialog, it may say Connected, Firewalled next to the connection icon.

Yes, The firewall is on for the NTL but not for LAN. Sure it wasnt before. Now fixed. Can you please try again for me.

Brainiac is on Sky one, going downstairs. Will check in the adverts.

[jim]

Gravity

Yep, its running. You might want to turn the firewall on but just enable incoming port 21. Id recommend you make sure youve got secure passwords for anyone who can log in.

Great help jim thanks. Will do. I can finish putting gravitys vids on there and will also add the shefield event. Got 50% of fights that day. Ill still let anonymous users have limited read access but put give some people directories to upload there files. All I need now is a domain name.

[jim]

Gravity

I use no-ip.com, they provide a free domain name and software you can run on your PC which updates the DNS entry whenever NTL change your IP address.
