    Help,
    I have a 7043-260 (aix 5.3) on my network along with some PCs. I can FTP into the RS6K from the local lan PCs (ftp 192.168.1.30) and they work okay. I have created a port forward service on my Verizon modem/router so external clients can FTP to my RS6K. I opened ports 20-25 and the clients can FTP to the PCs on my lan,,,, but when they try to FTP to the RS6K, they get a "connection refused" error. Is there a difference with FTPing from a local client compared to FTPing from a client coming through a tunnel in my firewall? Stumped.....Ted

    I think AIX will want to resolve the incoming host address before it will allow a connection so you need to look at host name resolution.
