Use a high port ...........tell me what router you have and I can better help you. This is the best way the last thing you want to do is disable your router firewall, that would be a waste.</p> Thu, 16 Mar 2006 03:15:55 +0000 iuploadhere comment 1195197 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/computer-help/router-firewall#comment-1194438 <p>Check your FTP software settings. It may just be that you are set to an active type ftp connection which doesn't like Firewalls. If so you may change that to a passive connection which just may solve it without compromising your firewall.</p> Sat, 04 Mar 2006 14:47:11 +0000 compwolf comment 1194438 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/computer-help/router-firewall#comment-1194427 <p>Most hardware routers don't block outgoing ports by default. I don't know about the brand but this may help:<br /> Click Start/Run<br /> Type in cmd<br /> Type in ipconfig /all<br /> Note default gateway.<br /> Open your browser window and type in the default gateway address.<br /> A login box should appear<br /> Possible username:password combinations are admin:admin, admin:blank, blank:admin and admin:password.</p> <p>Once you are logged in, you should be able to open and close ports.</p> Sat, 04 Mar 2006 02:03:40 +0000 mairving comment 1194427 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
