I decided I wanted to try to setup an FTP server in my home LAN, but I'm a bit confused. I have hughesnet and so my computer goes through several IP's before it actually reaches the web.
computer
Buffalo Draft-N router
Hughesnet Modem
Hughesnet Ops center
There are about 5 computers connected (wired and wirelessly) to the router. I set the router to forward port 21 to my server. Do I need port 20 as well? I have Filezilla server. all I need is access within my network, but if I can access it from the web it would be nice. I have no idea what to do I've tried setting it up for all those IP's and the only one that works is 127.0.0.1... which doesn't help much. I have win xp home.
