Oki... (and Jeff - thanks for your assistance on this one!)

The ip address coming into me is 82.32.145.19 - this is dynamic, and 
Is forwarded by dns2go.com who host my domain names, and forward to me
through their dns2go forwarding service. This forwards to my Router, which
forward any requests in turn to port 80 through to this machine only. There
are other windows machines on the network, but ANYTHING that comes in on the
usual port suspects (21/25/80/110) is forwarded to the 4i. 

When I try to ftp into the box, it recognises the ip change and changes the
ip that it tries to connect with to the local ip, so I guess that's why I
cant ftp into the box.Strangely enough it does connect, but cant receive the
listing - I think I can see why now!

I've now managed to fix the remote access into the box by allowing ports 81
and 444 through the firewall to point to this box - **hoorah!!**

Ummm...so I think the only problem I'm gonna have is ftp, which to my guess
is not a fixable one The only thing I can think of doing it to plonk it into
the DMZ (de-militarised zone), as that might work....

I'll inform them of this, tho whether anything will happen.....
