I am using Filezilla to communicate to a Seedbox. When I use the Network Configuration Wizard it fails with following messages:
I have read all possible information on network configuration but without success. I am probably doing something stupid but I cannot find what? Note that I can connect and transfer files without problems with my Seedbox but this is done in passive mode.
For test purpose I have used two different systems: One is running Windows XP and the other one is running Windows 7. I connect to the Internet through a French modem/router box (livebox). Both of my systems have fixed IP address set by the DHCP of the router. I have forwarded ports 5000-5500 to the Win XP machine and ports 6000-6500 to Win 7 machine (TCP).
From what I understand an active connection fails to connect either because the messages are not forwarded correctly or they are filtered by the firewall.
In order to test the port forwarding I have been using a nice utility called “Simple Port Tester” by PcWinTech.com that intercept the messages forwarded on a specific port sent by the site. This test works correctly on both systems.
I first have tried different firewall rules without success and therefore I have decided to disable completely the firewall on both systems.
But when I run the wizard it fails on both systems. In the wizard I set the following rules:
FYI I have set the security level of the router to medium (all input connection filtered, all output connections allowed). For the port forwarding I am using TCP (I also tried forward both).
Voilà! Any idea?

But when I run the wizard it fails on both systems. In the wizard I set the following rules:
- - Default transfer mode: passive
- Use the server external IP address
- Get external ip address from http://ip.filezilla-project.org/ip.php (dont use ext IP on local)
- Use following port range: 5000-5500 (or 6000-6500 on other system)
