dlewis23 Posted August 20, 2006 CID Share Posted August 20, 2006 they most likely blocked 21 out anyways, you ould probally have to do it on a different port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiberOptic Posted August 20, 2006 Author CID Share Posted August 20, 2006 so what port do you reckon i should try... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiberOptic Posted August 20, 2006 Author CID Share Posted August 20, 2006 if my modem allows p2p connections then surely i could use that port... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted August 20, 2006 CID Share Posted August 20, 2006 so what port do you reckon i should try... any port other then 21 or 80. If your on cable internet you wont be able to foward ports in the modem, becasue its not there all ports are open. Do you have a software firewall, or a router?
