Cannot set up 3rd-party ftp server on VISTA

127.0.0.1 works, I see my files. (I assume this is what you meant by
localhost?)
But ftp://(my ISP address x.x.x.x) does not work, neither in the explorer,
nor in the FTP client SmartFTP.

Directly connected to the modem (without router) does not work.
But my other computer's FTP server is working fine, so the ports in the
router were set the right way.

It is also showing 0.0.0.0:21 and some other 50000-50004

Windows firewall is off, so no ports to be set there I suppose.
And even when turning off the McAfee firewall, I cannot get through.

What IP address does your ADSL modem serve via DHCP? Please post the output
from ipconfig /all. If your ADSL modem is in router mode instead of bridge
mode then you have to port forward that too.

Regarding your router, how do you configure the WAN adapter? DHCP or PPPOE?

You mean 192.168.0.102...(i set the ports for this also in the router).
I'll have to post the ipconfig /all later as I don't have access to my
computer at the moment.

I believe the router is DHCP configured, I would have to check that as well.

But wouldn't this also affect my other XP computer running on that router?

Thanks,

Den

Definitely sounds like your ADSL modem is in router mode. You are adding an
extra (wifi?) router behind the ADSL modem, then you AT LEAST have a double
NAT.

You could have and additional NAT layer if your ISP is giving you a private
address (usually 10.x.x.x) instead of a public internet address. This is
usually not the case, but I have seen this happen woth some el-cheapo ISPs.

If this were my network I'd put the ADSL modem in bridge mode and set the
router to PPPOE and try from there. Do you have the password to change the
ADSL modem config? Do you know your PPPOE user and password? Maybe you can
contact you ISP and tell them that you have set up a wireless router and that
you want to reset the ADSL modem to bridge mode. They should be able to help
you if your contract allows more than one PC.
