I currently have the following setup:


Home wkstn---------OBSD-----the 'net-------OBSD-------Company Intranet
FreeBSD 4.7 3.1 2.9
Home wkstn packet filter ipfilter
Win NT4 nat/ftp-proxy nat proxy

Whilst the 2.9 firewall should in time be replaced by a 3.2+pf one, I have a question that is puzzling me:
The NT4 pc can ftp to hosts inside the company but with the FBSD machine has to connect in
passive mode and then revert to active for transfers. I assume this is due to the win client being
in active mode all the time but why can't I have transfers in passive mode?

Thank you for your time,
Per olof
