Show us the pertinent parts of your /etc/hosts.allow, please.
I am able to ftp to/from my masq box from the outside world -- I have
lines in hosts.allow giving me access from several specific sites.
For example, from my client site at a.b.c.???, I have this:
all: a.b.c. #note the period at the end.
>From another client site, where they're using a big ISP, and dynamic
addressing, so I can't restrict it to just this one system, I only
allow telnet, like this:
in.telnetd: .denver.bigisp.net
Try something like this first.
