"FTP Server" is listed, but not checked. When I click the Edit button on
this exception list item, the external and internal ports are both set to 21
and are greyed out, as well as the protocol type, TCP. The field "Name or IP
address of the computer hosting this service on your network" is editable,
but blank.
My ethernet connection for Internet connectivity has the firewall also
enabled and also has the same list with "FTP Server", with exactly the same
settings (not checked, TCP 21/21 and greyed out, computer name left blank).
A port scan from the internet reveals that FTP _is_ blocked over my ethernet
connection, but not over my wireless LAN.
This is really odd, because the only other thing open over wireless is PPTP
otherwise, which is what I have specified in my firewall settings.
