Update:

I tried disabling packet filtering but it made no
differance to my problem Clients still cannot ftp by any
means to external sites. I'm really stuck now!
I've been thinking that it could be something on the
router (its a NAT enabled thing). But whats leading me to
think that its NOT the router is that fact that the
server can FTP with no problems. Then again the server IS
directly connected to the router via the second network
card.....which of course is different to the clients.

I guess the router is the next logical place to start
looking. Could the NAT thing be interfering with things??
This one's really got me beat!

I've gotta say a big thanks to you Marina for sticking
with this for so long, you must be sick of this thread by
now!!
