having major issues running my home ftp set up like I have used in the past.
Anyone good for helping an FTP/server idiot walk through the less tech talk stages so he can get it running again so his community can continue passing art projects between themselves?
(Using MSN & Other means is sometimes difficult or impossible for some members, so I set up my PC as an FTP server while staying with friends.)
When I return home I was with a new provider & with a new all in one modem router & I am struggling to tweak the settings right so I can get the FTP switched back on for my people. =/
Not sure if it is either windows related (I have XP Pro)
Modem/Router dealio (It's an ASDL 205 voyager)
Or firewall/XP issue. (I have McAfee suite Firewall/AV protection.)
Using http://www.whatismyip.com/ I am being told one thing, while my PC is not having that addy when I give it to the ftp server in the usual config things, so now I am stumped. I bumbled my way through it so it worked last time, this time I ain't so lucky.
So anyone good with this stuff & good at working a novice through it?

One IP address on your PC with another IP address on your router is normal. The PC does not change while the router address can be static or not.
Now that I have completely confused you...
Call your ISP and find out if they assign a permanent IP or a 'changing' IP (that's the one that leads to your router). Once they can find your router all you should need to do is 'allow' them access via your firewall permit/block function. Some ISP's can assign a permanent IP. Either way your friends need the router IP, not the computer's IP.
I hope this helped instead of making things worse.
