is it me or is the port forwarding on linksys routers not the best? I 
just had to enable pasv_promiscuous on my vsftpd, because obviously the 
linksys doesn't pass on the requests cohesively. before that one would 
be able to connect fine, change directories and upload and download no 
prob - as long as one knew the directory structure by heart! A directory 
listing request time outand finally this evening fireFTP had the good 
manners to give me the error message "425 bad IP".

This didn't use to happen with my SMC or even the Caiman from Eircom. I 
am not overly happy with it either. any suggestions?

Oh and I got the linksys from blueface beacuse of the phone ports ...

thanks

Bernhard
