here come the newb questions:
How do I tell the name of the server? Is it just the IP

for the client, do I enter the internal IP within the LAN? or Do I enter the external IP (the one all the computers in my LAN share) and since I set the router to forward port 21 it'll automatically go to the server? This was where I got confused. Thanks very much for the help.

EDIT: I thought I had tried both internal and external, but I'll try again.
