Hi all,

I have a small problem with my network, i wondered if anyone has any suggestions.
The problem lies with my IIS 5.0 server which is sitting behind a SmoothWall Firewall 
box.
When I FTP to the server while on the inside of the network, I get a connection. And 
when
I do a GET or a DIR then I recieve the proper response with a file or directory 
listing... 
Now, when I access the server from the outside of the network through smoothwall, I 
still
get a connection to the server, but this time, whenever I try a DIR or GET, the 
session 
freezes and I have to kill it.
My initial guess is that Smoothwall is allowing a connection through port 21 (which 
I've 
allowed access), and I recieve the connection response. But the FTP server is then 
switching ports
to 2500 or something similar for data transfer... which I cannot open on smoothwall 
because
the port number changes... 
Has anyone dealt with this before? I've searched on Google to no avail, and also 
posted on the 
Smoothwall IRC channel with no success either... 

Thanks.

Andy.
