Yeh, I have been going into my router and trying to open ports 21, 22, &
220, to be sure, and I am not sure how to do it.
I have a dLink 713, and I am in the "advanced" settings.
But I have been trying to get folks to log into
ftp//24.116.252.4
and nobody can seem to get in.

Ari,

You are right. What Glen needs is not the IP address of his machine,
neither his Debian box nor his XP box, but the IP address of his router
that was assigned by his ISP. The two machine addresses are not assigned
by his ISP, but by his router, and thus are not available to be used by
folks from outside his local network. The two addresses he spoke of can
only be used within his local network, so that his Debian box and his XP
box can talk directly to each other with the help of his router. The
other detail is that he must instruct his router to open whatever ports
he wishes to make available to the outside world, such as for FTP, SSH,
HTML, etc.
