This must be related to masquerading (i.e. not diald). For ftp to
work you must load a specific module: ip_masq_ftp. I think this module
also does the icmp masquerading (for ping). This is because ftp sends a
port number and has the server "call you back" at that port.
There are other specific modules for some other protocols. The
modules that I have are: ip_masq_raudio, ip_masq_vdolive, ip_masq_cuseeme,
ip_masq_irc.
