I have a Windows 2003 Server machine that had Bullet Proof FTP Server running on it. It ran fine using port 27015 for the FTP and ports 50000-50100 for the passive connection. Unfortunatley I needed some functions that Bullet Proof did not provide, So I have moved to G6FTP Server, I cannot seem to connect up to my FTP now. At first I thought it was because I was using non standard ports for my FTP server. So I reverted them back to the defaults of port 21 and 1024-1025. I also reconfigured the port forwarding on my Linksys WRT64G Router.

I can connect up to my FTP server using another machine on my network, But If I try to connect to the FTP server from my connection at work, I get the following....

I haven't used Gene6 in a few years, but it may (judging by your connection log) be an Active FTP server. Active FTP servers require you to forward both ports 20 & 21. As apposed to a PASV FTP server (like MS FTP) which only requires you forward port 21.
