I'm a newbie when it goes to FTP, HTTP, VPN etc. I try to make a connection
to a Firewall Server i installed (BulletProof FTP server) assigning groups
and names relied to these groups, these groups are made of permissions to a
directory located on my computer.

There's an option in the configuration of my router that permit FTP (an
option call Virtual Server FTP ). I enabled it and it gave me the adress
198.168.0.101.
I configure my ftp Server software setting it to use this adress.

Knowing that 198.168 etc adresses are not valid internet adress (these are
made for a local network), i attempt to make a connection with the adress
given to my router (Dynamic adress). My router is connected to a DSL Modem
who change adress everytime i reset my router.

And everytime i try to login, anonymously, it tell me there an invalid
folder or that i do not have the permission to access it. Even if i define
an Anonymous user in my Ftp Server software (BulletProof Server) assigning
him to a group define with a local folder.

Can anyone give me a solution about that. It seem a bit complex the way i
express it, but i can't do better. A response would be greatly appreciated.

André
