If you wanted to use a name "my.ftpserver.net" for example, you would need a static IP address, & register your domain (my.ftpserver.net) name to the IP address.

If you don't want to go through that hassel, the easiest way is to go straight to your IP address (24.10.05.2). This would be your "Real World" IP Address assigned by your ISP.

If you need more help/questions post back a comment.
