Worried · 05-13-2007, 11:43 PM

I have the weirdest problem, my dsl provider gave me 5 separate ip's. Whenever I assign myself a "public fixed ip" under WAN IP MAPPING in the admin of my 2wire router I'm not able to see all the folders on my server when I log into ftp. It's all blank! I mean there's nothing there when I log in ftp, no folders at all.

And when I change the setting back to (router wan ip address) which is the default I can see all the folders fine.

Why would having a fixed public ip affect my ability to see folders already uploaded to my server in ftp?

Also, I turned off the firewall protection and it still doesn't work. I also tried enabling and disabling passive mode in ftp.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
