Okay - let me rephrase the question.
Do you get the same error message from the server if you access it from some
machine which does not go through the firewall (and is not the firewall
itself)? Even if you have to temporarily set up a client to test this, I
think it would be useful, because it would be good to know if the server
generates this error independently of anything the firewall is doing to the
packets.
Also, have you tried adjusting the MASQUERADE rule as I suggested, so it applies to the external interface only, as this may have a bearing on the problem?
Regards,
Antony.

the server is accesible from other machines. for an example i goto squid mirror sites
http://www.squid-cache.org/Mirrors/ftp-mirrors.html
but even no server here can be accessed. here is a long list of ftp mirror servers. and also i set the rule up as u said. but still no luck
and i wanna ask something that is not relevant to list is that u quote very good quotations. can u tell me from where i can get quotes like this and also quotes that are relevant to computer science. infact i m a student and some time i need such material. sorry for this irrelevant question
