account (or as administrator) |
| 2. Open Control

client from another PC. |
| 12. Testing with XP's firewall set up
this way worked using PASV connections from the Internet. However, there has
not been a large deal of time spent verifying that all Internet FTP connections
will pass through XP's firewall correctly. If your users are having problems
connecting and PASV (passive) doesn't help, try disabling the firewall to
determine if that is the cause. Unfortunately, the built-in firewall doesn't
have a port range that you can set like other routers and
firewalls. |
