I cannot get my damn FTP server to work? Really frustrating.

I cannot get my damn FTP server to work? Really frustrating.

Ok, here is my setup.

-Linksys cable modem and a Linksys router.
-I have 2 pc's connected to the modem sharing the cable connection.
-The pc's internal ip addresses are 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101
-My Wan/Internet ip address is 69.167.219.111

I have my IIS server running and setup correctly. I have "Allow IIS to
control password" checked under security accounts inside IIS.
On my router setup pages, under the "forwarding" tab, I have ports 20 thru
21 forwarded to 192.168.1.100
I checked on Linksys' knowledge base and it says to have the ip address set
to 192.168.1.3. I tried using that address and it didn't work either.
I have searched all over Google for FTP setup using port forwarding and they
all basically say the same thing, but it isn't working.
The only thing I tried but didn't work at all is setting up a static ip
address within my router.
I went into the router and typed in 69.167.219.111 for my static ip address
and then that killed my internet access.
I am assuming you can't just type in whatever "static" ip address you want.
Checking the research I have done, you shouldn't have to have a static ip
address in order to get this to work.

If I open up windows explorer and type in ftp://69.167.219.111/ then I get
this error:
------------------------------------------------------
Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name
correctly and that you have permission to access the folder.

Details:
The connection with the server was reset
------------------------------------------------------

Does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

DM.
