I am trying to run a proftpd server on a SuSE Linux 7.3 system behind a NAT 
router. The router is the property of my ISP and its port-configuration 
cannot easily be changed.  The TCP ports 21 and 53 and the UDP port 53 are 
translated to the address 192.168.1.4 on my LAN. I have set up eth0:0 to be 
192.168.1.4 on the proftpd system, and I can access the proftpd server from 
within the LAN.

The proftpd server answers the address ftp.mydomain.dk, where 'mydomain' is 
my registered domain name, when I access the ftp server from within the 
LAN. I cannot access the proftpd server from the outside, however. I think 
this is about the active/passive ftp problem, but this is my first attempt 
to set up an ftp server, so I am not skilled in error-finding/correction 
with ftp servers. How do I go about this?

It should be possible to run an ftp server with the Internet product I use. 
I know that others are doing it.

Here is my /etc/proftpd.conf:

Hope somebody can help. Thanks in advance.
