I do not know why i can not access my FTP server installed on my PC with private ip address of 192.168.50.6 from a remote network (outside my default gateway router with an ip address of 86.16.X.X * the public ip address*) eventhough i have configured the port forarding (NAT translation) on my cisco router as follow: %ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.50.6 2573 interface FastEthernet0/0 2573%. **FastEthernet0/0 is the outside interface** (i had to change the default port number which is 21 for FTP to 2573 for security reason). As well as i did set a new traffic rules on my firewall to allow the port 2573 using tcp to my local FTP server.When i use the filezilla client to access the ftp server from my LAN, the access is fine. But when use the filezilla client fom a remote host the acceess is denied. For troubleshooting reason i did take the cisco router out my network and plug the fastethernet cable straight to my PC, it did work. Does that mean that my configuration for port forwarding on my cisco router is wrong and if that is the case why i do have the access to the Internet using the OVERLOAD NAT translation. Please can anyone have the answer to my troubles???? Thx
