The link Hans sent should work for showing your external ip. But that doesn't necessarily explain your ftp experience. The whole thing should be transparent to both sides: your computer thinks it's talking directly to the ftp server, and the ftp server thinks it is talking to the external ip address. You could try running ethereal or tcpdump to see what happens at your machine. Casey
