I want to setup a FTP on my computer, I use Bulletproof FTP Server. The IP
address display on the program 192.168.1.64, my friend can't access the FTP.
Is it due to firewall? What should I do? How do I configure for this? I using
2Wire's 2700HG HomePortal Gateway router. If anyone is currently using this,
please guide me on the configuration. Thank you.
 
The first thing you need to determine is if your ISP will allow you to even
do this. Most have "no server" rules on their home accounts and will revoke
your account if they catch you running a server.

The second thing you need is to configure your router to pass-through FTP
requests (port 21) to the computer at address 192.168.1.64 - the
documentation that came with the router should explain that.

Finally, your FTP users need to be directed to the address on the Internet
side of the router, not the internal 192.x.x.x address.

How to direct to the address on the Internet side of the router?

There is slightly more to it than this, 21 is the control port, but the
data channels will (for passive mode) use a block of high-number ports, as
set in the FTP server's config. These ports need to be forwarded to the FTP
server too.

For private use it might be worth a look at Filezilla server, which is
SSL/TLS capable and hence much better from a security point of view. (Note
that Secure FTP uses different ports, but works similarly)
 
You'll need to find out what TCP/IP address your ISP has assigned you (this
should be available in your router's information/configuration utility) and
have others connect to this address. If it's a dynamic address (it changes
every so often) you'll either need to get a static address from your ISP,
have your friends use the updated address when it changes, or check out a
dynamic DNS service that will track your IP address and connect it to a
constant name that others will use instead of the IP address.

I'm a newbie to these stuffs. I will provide you details that you required
and guide me on how to setup in the configuration part.

Private Network
If you change the IP address range, you must renew the DHCP lease on all
devices on the network.


->192.168.1.0 / 255.255.255.0 (default)
172.16.0.0 / 255.255.0.0
10.0.0.0 / 255.255.0.0
Configure manually

Public Network < Disabled >
Check ENABLE to create a route from the Internet to the public network
specified below.
Router Address: < Empty >
Subnet Mask: < Empty >


Bridge Network < Disabled >
Check ENABLE to allow broadband IP addresses to be used on the local
network.
