In addition to what Andreas said: The problem is not the "router/gateway" in front of the ftp. The problem is the internal address the ftp server has and the nat that the router has to do. FreeBSD knows nothing about the external address... I think you'll have better results getting a second IP address for your ftp server and just route packets. Or you could search for an ftp server with this feature and/or a router with a big bag of tricks(similar to ftp-proxy FreeBSD has) I would go for a second IP address if that was a choice Nikos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: FTP server behind router/gateway
That is more a matter for your router. Your router should be wrapping the internal address with a public one. Be sure you are forwarding all the ports needed for ftp. -Derek At 09:40 AM 9/14/2006, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a FreeBSD 6.1 box running behind a router/gateway.

FTP server behind router/gateway
I have a FreeBSD 6.1 box running behind a router/gateway. When it tries to go into passive mode, it returns it's internal 192.168. ip address to the client which the client stupidly uses to try to connect to. I've confirmed this by tyring to FTP from several external systems (windows & linux). Is there anyway to get the FreeBSD box to return the external address without making it act as the router/gateway?
