OK sorry, I should have discribed that a bit better.

I have one subnet behind a linux firewall with windows boxes
I am ftp-ing to the world:

The linux box has a cable connection to the internet (Net A)
and I also have another box at a different location with a DSL connection
to the internet wich has a ftp server (Net B)

I am trying to ftp to Net B from Net A. I have tryed it with a standallone
windows box connected to the internet and it works, thus there should be
nothing wrong on the Net B side and there must be something wrong with the
masquerading/forwarding if I have the Net A firewall basically as
complete passthrough.

I don't get it. I have the same arangement on Net B but all the windows
boxes can ftp out perfectly. (Same distro RH72)
