If you are behind a firewall or masquerading router, you need to use
passive (PASV) mode for FTP. IE4 and Netscape both use passive mode by
default. Other FTP clients may require explicit configuration.
If IE4 doesn't work, you need to check that you are able to make TCP
connections to arbitrary ports; being able to connect to port 21 isn't
sufficient for FTP.
Other issues are:
1. You should ensure that you are not blocking inbound ident (auth)
requests using an ipfwadm `deny' rule.
2. You should also ensure that your reverse DNS is correctly
configured.
3. You may need to run a masquerading-aware version of identd on the
masquerading router. This shouldn't be necessary, but sometimes (due
to misconfiguration of the server) it is.
