I have recently set up an EigerStein firewall at home,
and nearly have everything working just the way I want
it. Nearly.
The EigerStein machine is set up to forward FTP
packets to a computer behind my home firewall. This
works fine when I access the machine from a computer
that is esentially sitting on the internet. I still
have a shell account from the university I graduated
from 4 years ago, and while telneted there, I can FTP
to my machine behind the firewall just fine. However,
from my computer at work, when I try to FTP, I can
login, but trying to get a directory listing just sits
there and eventually times out. From the work computer
I can ftp to the aforementioned university account
just fine, and before I installed the firewall, I
could FTP home just fine.
My only guess is that, due to the screwed up firewall
at work, when the FTP client sends its PORT command
before doing trying to get the file list, the IP
address it sends isn't the same as the address it
thinks I logged in from. I am basing this guess on the
fact that IP address that is logged when I ssh into
the machine is completely different than the IP
address sent along with the PORT command.
Any ideas?
