Hi, I got this problem that I might need some help to solve. I'm currently using a linux machine with ipchains as firewall and got 3 (three) different nets.
Net1: Outside the firewall Net2: DeMilitarized Zone (Mailservers, WebServers) Net3: Internal network I've just opened some ports from/to the internal net (among those are 21/ftp) but when I'm on a webpage and click a ftp link like this one: ftp://ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/pc_servers/m525w32e.txt nothing happens and it do time out. When I check the kernel log I can see that the workstation tried to connect to 204.146.167.81:18235 <-- Why the hell port 18235 (the port are differnt from time to time..) It works with ftp://ftp.sunet.se etc but shouldn't ftp:// always connect to the same port and is there a solution? Regards, Michael Abrahamsson
