Gentlemen,
I have an ftp server that I am having a problem connecting to.
I am attempting the connection from:
1. the same workstation, running
2. the same copy of FlashFXP, through
3. the same modem/Internet connection, through
4. the same Firewall-Router
I can connect to one of my FTP Servers, and not the other.
First, Let me show you the FTP Server that works:
See the log below:

Now here is the wierd part,
Below is the log of the connection to the same server (BQ 90 Inside) as ftpback
(in other words, a connection from the same workstation, same FlashFXP, same Server, just a connection to the server's inside IP 192.168.1.90 instead of its' Outside IP 24.155.9.35)

So, to review- I have several FTP Servers. They all have an LAN and a WAN NIC. I can connect to any of them through FlashFXP using the LAN Connection and I can connect to any of them (except 24.155.9.35) from the WAN IP. What could this possibly be? I have checked all of the options tab settings to ensure they are identical across all connections.
MORE WIERDNESS: I attempted a connection to 24.155.9.35 through another device using another FTP Client (not FlashFXP) and the server came right up! So the server is not really refusing connections.
Please help,
Leroy Weber
