I’m trying to FTP(from bash window) from one Windows 2000 Cygwin PC (with two NIC cards and 2 IP addresses) to another Windows 2000 Cygwin PC (with two NIC cards and 2 IP addresses). One NIC card is used for the local area network and the other is used for a wide area network. The FTP command returns a time out error when I ftp from local area network to local area network.
The Windows 2000 Cygwin PCs can be accessed from either the local area network or the wide area network. You can FTP from either of Windows Cygwin 2000 PCs to other computers/PCs on the wide area network. The Windows 2000 Cygwin PCs can FTP to each other only if they use the wide area NIC/IP address or the computer name with the FTP command. Any attempt to FTP with local area NIC/IP address will result in a timeout error.
