Lee helped with this about a year ago but I have never gotten it to work. I want to connect via the internet to my computer at the office, which is connected via DSL (BellSouth). There is a Netopia router and we have a static IP address that I was told by them was necessary in order to connect this way. The office Mac has Personal File Sharing on and FTP on, and, I think, the firewall has port 548 open. According to the Apple support stuff I can find, when you highlight FTP Access in Sharing, the IP address given is supposed to tell you the one to input on the other end. All I get is the 192.168.0.? number, which is just the local network address, I think. Its the same address that DHCP comes up with, too. When I put it in from home (Go>Connect to Server), I get a query that asks for id and password. I have tried the id and password for my office Mac and for the router, and both come back and say it?s wrong. I even tried it with no id and password input, also to no avail.
I am running 10.3.7 at both ends. Somewhere along the line I was told that Port 21 had to be open on the router, but BellSouth told me that it was open. How do I know? If I go into the router, what setting am I looking for? Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks, Robert | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 25.
