Using the xinet.d FTP server, I can't manage to access my FTP server from outside the network. Anyone on the University network can connect and successfully log-on to it, but everyone outside the network can't manage it.

I'm not sure if it's the fault of the school's proxy that is stopping me from doing this or what. I do know that the IP Address that's displayed to many other computers does not match my internal one, which seems like to be the cause of the problem.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? The IT Department here is notoriously stupid, and hasn't helped. Their idea of increased security is to take apart the network, so they could be causing the problem, and I doubt they'll be any help.

If anyone can help me out here, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.
