Ports are forwarded, the server is up, people are downloading/uploading. The problem is that I cannot connect the bnc checker to ioFTPD using my external IP or hostmask. Only using 127.0.0.1. If I put the hostmask in de config, it will say the server is down, while actually, it's up.

Just to clarify, I cannot connect to ioftpd from within the LAN environment using anything other than 127.0.0.1, from outside the LAN there is no problem connecting. Since everyting is running on one PC within the LAN, I'm stuck with 127.0.0.1

So I need to cheat a bit. Since everything is run from one PC anyway, I need the bouncer to announce hostmask : port instead of 127.0.0.1 : port. Is there any way to do that ? Other option is to just disable the bnc checker, but i'd rather not do that...

Any suggestions would be welcome !
