Thanks Paul, I've used your second option, to open ports 20 and 21 and it
works if I take off the passive mode option on the ftp client. I will use
this for now. I've tried to contact LinkSys using their online chat and the
guy just said to open port 21 and it will become a passive port, told him
that an MCSE said otherwise and he flushed me...what a service!

Thanks again!

Paul,

What exactly this your help mean?

- You can not open that many ports as microsoft says!
- Shit called linksys will not work with port 20-21
- You can not disable passive mode in IIS 5.xx

Is there any way of making IIS to understand that shit called Linksys?

I did tryed everything but nothing helps!!

Best regards
