ENS and FTP issues - is my scenario really unique?

[balcarras]

OK. Stay with me while I try and explain what I believe is quite a standard setup (hopefully).

WINGATE installed on Server 2003 box with 2 NIC's.


NETWORK IP DETAILS ETC

ISP is a local UK educational supplier.

Details given to us by the ISP are:
*These are not the real ip's*

Network address 10.8.40.0
subnet mask 255.255.252.0
Default gateway 10.8.43.254 (this is the ip of a physical router on our site which they have given us)

The external NIC is thus setup:
IP 10.8.40.1
sm 255.255.252
gateway 10.8.43.254

dns as given by ISP

The internal NIC is setup like this:
IP 10.10.2.201
sm 255.255.0.0
gateway - blank

dns - one entry for ISP dns
one entry for local domain dns server (10.10.3.2)



WINGATE SETUP

DHCP disabled - using DHCP on domain controller.

WWW Proxy server running on port 81
Connections to servers are made through cascaded proxy server:
and I've filled in the details from the ISP for server name and port.

Extended Network is installed and seems to be running.


CLIENT SETUP

IE6
Use a proxy server for your LAN
Details given are wingate IP and port

AND ALL THIS WORKS FINE.
Every XP client can surf that net with no problems - and it is quite fast.

PROBLEM.

1. I am using FTP software to upload files to our website and we can only do this from the WINGATE pc - I want to be able to FTP from clients using IPSWTICH WS_FTP.

2. ENS looks interesting and I'd like to try setting it up.

I have tried to get both 1 and 2 working with no success.
I have followed all the instuctions I can find on this site but to no avail.

Is there something weird in how my LAN/ISP is set up that stops me doing what I want to?

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

What exactly was the problem with FTP? You could not connect to the server at all or the data channel did not work? Did you try both modes - active and passive?
