FTP resolving

iis ftp: Hello,

I've turned on my FTP settings in Windows 2003 Small business server.

Internally, I can't get into the ftp site. I use the IP Address as well as
the domain name.

Externally, I can get on the ftp site when I ftp the ip address but not the
domain name.

I was told I would have to setup an a host record. If this is the problem,
how would I go about doing that? Any help is appreciated.

Internally, what IP do you specify ? try the internal ip address.
As of the host record, do you have a registered domain? if not, try to get
one....
With your setup, you can then use the hoster / provider DNS server, rather
than create and host your own dns server. After that create a host record at
the dns server and point it to your server.
