This "hardware" firewall is a box with a processor and an operating
system inside, the actual firewall is software. You could have achieved
similar and more controllable results with an old pc with 2 nic cards
running linux.
My guess is that the router doesn't allow IP forwarding for ftp or
something.
I would mess around with whatever control panel you have on Windows for
this thing and if that doesn't help put that old pc to work or have
someone do it for you.
Even simpler, get a router on a floppy (I highly recommend Freesco
-freesco.org) and you don't even need a hard drive.
