Just bought a Linksys access point router/firewall (BEFW11S4) and having a
problem with FTP. I'm attempting to ftp to my ISP (rogers) and cannot do
so. Linksys told me I needed to put my FTP client in "passive mode".
Apparently in windows, you do this by disabling the "folder view for FTP
sites". This partially works as I can at least get into Linksys's FTP site.
Unfortunately, nothing I do (short of removing the router) lets me FTP to my
ISP.

Does anyone have experience with this? Can I use port triggering to solve
this? Any other ideas?

FYI - I'm running Windows XP. Also I am using Zone Alarm without issue.
