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.

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. Chuck On Sat, 25 Dec 2004, Ari Moisio wrote: > HI! > > One way to get ip address is to send mail to oneself or mailing list > and > examine headers, specially last Received:-line.
