Good morning.

I have Windows 2000 Professional on my home computer and
it has all the latest critical updates, recommended
updates and driver updates.
I installed the FTP service component and set up a folder
on the computer as my FTP home folder. I have assigned
the appropriate rights to that folder.
For my FTP configuration in the "properties" window, I
have the following settings...
FTP Site Tab: IP Addresses is set to "all unassigned"
Security Accounts Tab: Allow anonymous connections &
Allow IIS to control password options are checked.
Home Directory Tab: I have specified the new folder I
had created.
When I connect to the FTP site from the computer that
houses the FTP component then I can connect (I use the
address ftp://ip address of my computer).
I have an ADSL connection where my computer is connected
to the ADSL modem. I do not have a router and I do not
have a firewall. My anti virus software does have a
firewall feature which is turned off.
When I try to connect remotely, I get a message saying
that "Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you
typed the file name correctly and that you have the
permission to access the folder. Details: The operation
timed out".
I have set up the permissions on the folder and I should
get to a screen that asks for a username & password but I
can't even get to that.
I tried pinging the IP address of my computer but it
times out.

This is all the information I could possibly think of
providing but let me know if you need more information.
