They do something special on some ports, like 21 because they look at every packet and when they see a PORT command, the exchange the internal IP for the external and the automatically forward the port the client has selected and included in the port command.

Still seems kind of weird to me though because EVERY other port forwards just fine, but not 21, but hey, who knows. Thanks for the ideas. -HJ Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
