Filezilla issues/FTP server help!

I am currently trying to use filezilla to set up an ftp server so I can access files anywhere there is internet and have encountered some issues.

Every time I try to access it with the client application from the other computer in my home it times out and will not log in. I have changed numerous configurations and ip addresses and this is what I currently have it set up as.

I currently have a static ip for my computer on my local network, set too 198.162.0.3. (I do not have one from my ISP) This is so I can set up port forwarding, which I do, ports 20-21 for FTP. I also have port triggering and uPNP enabled.

I also have DynamicDNS set up from a free account at Dyndns.org and the info is entered into my router.

I have a host name made, wildcard is not enabled. I entered my IP via the auto IP finder tool they have, it is not my local network IP address of 198.162.0.3.

I also selected Host With IP address when I set up DynamicDNS.

Filezilla configuration:

defaulted Server address which is 127.0.0.1
I have a user set up of my name and last two intials along with a password and have selected what directories I want shared.
Connections settings are as follows, 'listen on ports 14148' everything else is default.

When I installed I used port 14148

Trying to log on this is what it says....

Status: Resolving IP-Address for ********.is-a-geek.com
Status: Connecting to **.***.**.59:14148...
Error: Connection timed out
Error: Could not connect to server
Status: Waiting to retry...
Status: Resolving IP-Address for ********.is-a-geek.com
Status: Connecting to **.***.**.59:14148...


(asterisks are for my security reasons :-))

I think this should be enough to help.

Am I doing something wrong? What else do I need to do?

BTW I have 6MB cable from a local ISP. I Have a netgear rp614v2 router.

HELP!! I am getting annoyed I would like to this to work very much. Thanks for the help.

My windows messenger id is (it is a joke no worries :-P) [email protected] So IM me if I am on and you may be able to help, thanks.

I used this site to guide me...

this was always a pistol for me. Mines working and im using winftp server, client.
In the router goto firewall virtual server. install your local ip like 192.168.1.252.
port 20,21. go ahead and try. if it still does not work take down the software firewall. see if it works then. if it does then let up know what firewall your using.
its just a stab, but maybe its a start.

Something else i forgot. all the computers have to be of the same workgroup. 'F!' and query workgroup.
sorry if ya mentioned some of this already. im running right now.
good luck.
