[dba-Tech] Serv-U

I am trying to get Serv-U FTP server going on my server here in my office.
The install was simple and just worked.  It works just fine inside of my
network, using ftp://192.168.122.106 (the server IP address) but I cannot
see it going out to the internet and coming back in.  I have a dlink 624 (I
think) router, in which I have forwarded ports 20 and 21 to 192.168.122.106.
I just cannot see the server, from my laptop, going out and back in.

One of my tech assists suggested that my ISP might be blocking port 20/21,
so I set up the server to look for the ftp at 59999 and then used :59999 at
the end to try and force contact at that port.  That does not work either.

Can anyone suggest how to test this thing, coming in from the outside?  If
anyone out there knows this stuff, and in particular has experience with
Serv-U, can you assist me in getting this working.
