ftp does reverse lookups... Make sure the IP of the clients you are using
can be resolved to some name.

I hope that's a typo? You can't put "http://" into a host name...
http:// is a resource specifier, telling a client program to use port 80
and the http protocol as described in the RFCs, it is not part of the host
name.

You seem to be on a DSL line... Many ISPs block out ftp and http access to
DSL customers. Are you sure that's not the case with your ISP?
