Recently I turned an old PC into an FTP server for my home. I have two little problems I'm trying to work out but I cant quite get. I am running Bulletproof on win 98.

1: I can log into the server from all but one computer in my house. When ever I try to log onto it with my win xp machine the request times out. This is strange considering I am able to log in with another xp machine. Any idea what is happening?

2: how can I log into the server from outside my home? inside my house I just use “ftp:\\IP ADDYRESS OF SERVER” and it works fine but from outside my house what would I have to do?

Thanks
