My laptop runs Windows 7.

I am trying to setup a FTP server on my laptop so other systems in my LAN can access it.

I used GuildFTPd

The FTP server is up and running, I can connect to it just fine locally from the laptop.

However, I cannot connect to it from any other system on my LAN.

I can't even ping my laptop, even though my laptop can ping my other systems.

Any ideas what I can try to fix this?

You might have to open a port in your router via port forwarding.

I use port 44000 for my FTP and it works. :)

I set the FTP to port 50000 and forwarded ports 50000 though 51000 by it's static ip on my router.

You sure Windows firewall isnt blocking it if you havent turned it off?

Windows firewall actually asked me what to do when it saw it try to connect, I told it to give the program full access.

This is for local access or over the internet? If it's local then port forwarding on the router isn't needed. Just have everyone use your computer's local IP.

Some routers block NAT redirecting which means you may not be able to access your own FTP server via your Internet IP, going out then back in essentially.

So lets repeat the question are you trying to access the ftp server using its LOCAL ip, say 192.168.1.100 from machine 192.168.1.101 or are you trying to access it by name? ftpservermachine or some outside FQDN say ftp.yourdomain.tld or its public IP address?

As stated making loopback connections quite often does not work (depends on the router supporting this feature or not).. IE coming from machine on your local network trying to go to a public IP or public FQDN and then your router sending it right back (loopback).

If your using the local name that resolves to a local IP, or the local ip from another local machine and its not working you need to verify that any local software firewalls or antivirus software allows for this - quite often antivirus can block access to ftp.

I rarely see a point to running software firewalls on machines behind a nat router - more often then not just causes the users issues. I would suggest you at least for testing disable any and all software firewalls/antivirus/security software on both machines your wanting to test with - both the server and the client. If it then works - you know that is config issue with this software.

You need to verify that the ftp server software is listening on your machines local IP address, you say you can connect from the machine itself - are you just connecting to its 127.0.0.1 address or the name localhost? You say you can not ping this machine from another machine on your network - this could point to a firewall issue or maybe a double nat setup.

Are all machines connected to the same router? Or do you have another router in the network? Also is the machine wired or wireless to your network? Are the other machines wired or wireless? Quite often a wireless router can block wireless machines from talking to other wireless machines (called ap or client isolation as an example)

My antivirus app (Avira AntiVir) has no network managment abilities as far as I know, and I tried disabling both software firewalls on the laptop (COMODO firewall and Windows fireall) but it still woulden't work.

As I said, I tried that, didn't help.

Also, I use them because I like to know specifically what programs are trying to access the internet and what incoming connections I am getting, as well as the abuilty to block specific ones while letting others through.

I was connecting to itself by typing in it's LAN IP.

They are all behind the same router.

The laptop with the server is wireless, I was trying wired and wireless systems when attempting to connect to it.

Other wired and wireless systems can talk to my desktop just fine.

I used to be able to communicate with my laptop when running Windows Vista, but Windows 7 seems to be much harder.

When you have the firewall(s) disabled -- you should NEVER be running more than 1 btw on the same machine.

Can you ping the ftp server machine from the other machine? If you can not even ping it then you have a firewall issue, or a nat issue -- ie something blocking traffic. You say you can access window file shares off the ftp machine from other machines on your network?

Also lets be clear -- are you not even able to connect, or not able to login?

From your client machine on your network - from a command prompt doing ftp to the IP address of the ftp box -- what do you get?

c:\>ftp 10.56.102.68

Connected to 10.56.102.68.

Even with firewalls disabled I cannot ping it.

I can't even connect to the FTP, it times out attempting to connect to the FTP, no response at all.

I have the same problem, cant setup a ftp on my notebook trough wireless, only if i use the lan cable it works.

"cant setup a ftp on my notebook trough wireless"

As I said before its quite common for wireless routers as a security feature to block access between wireless clients, and or its possible to block wireless clients from talking to the wired clients or vice versa, etc.

The different makers call it different things, AP or Client isolation, WLAN partition

example from the DWL-7100AP

--

WLAN Partition

Wireless Band

Select the Wireless Band to configure.

Internal Station Connection

When this is enabled there is no barrier between communication among wireless stations connecting to the Access Point. If this is disabled, wireless stations of the selected band (802.11a 0r 802.11g) are not allowed to exchange data through the Access Point. The default value is set to "Enabled".

* Ethernet to WLAN Access

When this is enabled there is no barrier between the data flow from the Ethernet to wireless devices connected to the Access Point. If this is disabled, all data from the Ethernet to associated wireless devices is blocked. Wireless devices can still send data to the Ethernet. The default value is set to "Enabled".

* Connection Between 802.11a & 802.11g

When this is enabled, devices on the 802.11a network are able to exchange data with devices on the 802.11g network through the Access Point. If this is disabled, a partition is created between the networks within the Access Point. That is, data from any associated device on the 802.11a cannot send data to or receive data from another device on the 802.11g network through the Access Point.

If you can not even PING the box -- then yeah is highly unlikely FTP is going to work! ;) You need to understand what is blocking your ability to even ping.. Question when you ping the box by its ip -- does it's mac address show up in your arp table? From your test box, ping the IP - after it finishes and times out, look at your arp cache.

arp -a

Does it list mac for your ftp machines IP address? Is it the Correct MAC? You can view the mac of an interface by using the ipconfig /all command.

I would suggest you test with putting your boxes with a wire to the same router.. If you can not ping then you have a firewall/security software issue. Fix this -- understanding the software your using is the first battle :)

Its amazing how much more trouble software firewalls cause users issues vs any type of protection.. Your on a Private lan -- you have no use for a software firewall unless there are boxes on your network that have to be treated as hostile.. As to controlling applications access to the network -- this has no real legit use and has been gone over in other thread.. Use it if you want -- but you have to freaking understand how to configure your firewall.

I will fire up windows 7 when I get home and run this guildftp server on it -- it should take about 15 seconds to get it working.

Am I supposed to do this from the laptop (which has the ftp server running) or from another computer to the laptop?

My laptop can ping the other systems, but my other systems cannot ping the laptop.

I can even ping other wired and wirless devices from both my desktop or laptop like my Cellphone, Playstation 3, or Nintendo Wii.

Its mostly for knowing which apps try to access my network or internet and allowing or denying them on a per-app basis.

Also an extra layer of protection.

How would checking if the mac is correct make sense if you were trying to ping the box running ftp from that same box?

Not what part of "From your test box" was not clear?

Again if you can not ping your box running the ftp from another machine --- why do you think you should be able to ftp to it? Your problem points to Firewall problem.

As to "extra layer of protection" -- pointless, and again seems to be causing you more grief than any "extra" anything -- unless you like extra grief ;)

You don't have to insult me, I missed that part when I was reading it.

And no, it's mac address didn't show u[ in my arp table.

Connecting it by wire didn't change anything either.

I already said I tried disabling ALL firewalls on the system, but I still could not ping it.

So you got all zeros for the mac? Or the wrong mac? Or just nothing listed for that IP? After trying to ping the IP address of the box running ftp from the test box. Also when you try to ping do you get timeout, or destination host not reachable?

Even when your wired to the same router?

Ping your test box from the ftp box, then look at the arp table on the test box -- do you see the mac now? Can you ping it now?

If not try setting a static arp on the test box pointing to the ftp box.

your never going to be able to communicate to it if you can not even arp for its mac, the firewall does not normally block arp -- but I will have to double check the windows 7 firewall.. But it would be rare that it does not arp.

You SURE these machines are on the same network. not some nat device or bridge device between them, no voip device, etc?

edit: Ok I just booted my windows 7 machine, I then set the firewall to block ALL inbound connections on both private and public and then pinged it from another machine. As can see the ping was blocked. But it got the mac

If your not able to arp for the machines mac then you got something more than the windows 7 firewall causing you issues -- do you have some 3rd party firewall installed? Again do you have devices in between you and the test machine, etc.

If you can not arp for its mac, then no your never going to be able to communicate with it, you can try setting a static arp -- but you have something wrong if you can not normally arp for its mac.

The FTP server is running on my laptop, I tried pinging my laptop with it's lan IP, basically I pinged itself, it worked fine.

The laptop's LAN ip was not listed in the arp table.

You mean ping my laptop with my desktop?

It just times out.

However, the laptop's lan IP and Mac address DID appear in my desktop's ARP table.

I don't understand, what do you mean by a static arp?

They all have static IPs if that is what you are referring to.

Every networked system in my house, ethernet or wifi, connects directly to the same one router.

If your not able to arp for the machines mac then you got something more than the windows 7 firewall causing you issues -- do you have some 3rd party firewall installed? Again do you have devices in between you and the test machine, etc.

If you can not arp for its mac, then no your never going to be able to communicate with it, you can try setting a static arp -- but you have something wrong if you can not normally arp for its mac.

Hmm.... this is odd, NOW the 3rd party firewall has made it clear that this is what was causing it.

I again tried disabling all firewalls and pinging it, but unlike last time it actually went through.

So I one by one enabled them and finally when just my 3rd party firewall was running it was blocked.

Considering this is the first thing I checked, multiple times, when I couldn't ping my laptop I have no idea why NOW its finally shown itself.

... what is even weirder, is that I had this SAME firewall and ftp server app installed on this system when I was running Vista on it, and it actually worked perfectly then.

Anyway, I just checked, my favorite firewall (Kerio/Sunbelt Personal Firewall) has FINALLY been updated to support Vista.

Im going to see if I can get it running in place of Comodo, because I far prefer Kerio to Comodo.

Oh by the way.... even with all firewalls disabled and the desktop able to ping the laptop, the laptop STILL did not display it's own IP or MAC address in the arp table after I pinged itself.

pinging the machine from the same machine is not really a valid test, and no the arp table will not show your machines own mac.

As to weirder -- IMHO its not weird seeing users having issues with firewalls, it see it every single day.

As brought up in the beginning of the thread your issues was firewall related. Now since you say its working after you redid your firewalls its working is not weird.

I would suggest rethink what running a software firewall behind a nat, on a NON-hostile network buys you other than grief, cpu overhead and added configuration.

    • Microsoft Edge gets new password feature and security fixes by Taras Buria Microsoft has released a new update for the Edge browser in the Stable Channel. Version 137.0.3296.83 introduces a new password feature and fixes security vulnerabilities to make your browsing experience safer. Starting with new features, Microsoft Edge 137 now supports Secure Password Deployment. Microsoft recently announced this for IT admins, allowing them to share encrypted passwords with user groups. This service lets users log into websites without seeing their passwords, thus enhancing the organization's security. You can read more about Microsoft Edge Secure Password Deployment in our recent article here. Security updates in Microsoft Edge 137.0.3296.83 include two fixes for Chromium vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-5958: Use after free in Media in Google Chrome prior to 137.0.7151.103 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) CVE-2025-5959: Type Confusion in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 137.0.7151.103 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) You can update Microsoft Edge to the latest version by heading to edge://settings/help. The browser can also update itself automatically in the background and apply updates between restarts. In case you missed it, Microsoft released Edge 137 by the end of May. The update deprecated quite a lot of existing features, including Wallet, Image Editor, Image Hover, Mini menu, and Video Super Resolution. It also introduced Web Content Filtering and enhancements for the picture-in-picture player and Find on Page in Microsoft Edge for Business. The next feature update for Microsoft Edge, version 138, is expected on the week of June 26, 2025, as part of the standard four-week release cadence.
    • Microsoft commits to upskill 1 million UK workers in AI this year by Paul Hill Microsoft has partnered with the UK government in the latter’s ambitious plan to train 7.5 million workers in AI skills over the next five years. Specifically, Microsoft has committed to upskilling 1 million of those workers by the end of this year. This represents a significant portion of the overall target and within a very short timeframe. The education drive by Microsoft builds on its previous “Get On” program, which has given 1.5 million people basic digital skills. The effort to train up 1 million British workers in AI is part of Microsoft’s broader £2.5 billion investment in UK AI infrastructure. Ensuring workers have the skills to leverage AI tools is important. Microsoft CEO UK Darren Hardman said recently that two-thirds of business people wouldn’t hire someone lacking AI skills, showing just how vital it is to get people’s skills up to date. Microsoft's approach to AI skills development Microsoft has several platforms to offer AI training, including Microsoft Learn, AI Skills Navigator, and through partnerships with non-profit organisations such as Catch22 in the UK. Its educational materials cover everything from the basics of generative AI to helping you prepare for advanced roles like being an AI engineer. With Catch22, Microsoft helps to train people who face various challenges to getting tech skills, including gender and ethnicity barriers, homelessness, mental health issues, school exclusion and disability. Microsoft is also trying to get more women into tech fields through programmes like TechHer, where it has trained thousands of women across UK government departments. Many of the courses that Microsoft offers come complete with certificates that you can show off on your CV when applying for a job to impress potential employers and land a job. Who else is partnering with the UK government? While Microsoft is playing a massive role in the government’s plans, it’s not the only big tech giant helping out. The firms that have partnered with the government are: Accenture, Amazon, Barclays, BT, Google, IBM, Intuit, Microsoft, Sage, SAS, and Salesforce. While all of these firms are helping to train workers, Microsoft’s planned efforts are the most notable. This initiative by the government will help the country brace for the changes AI is expected to bring to the economy. In April, the United Nations said that AI will affect 40% of all jobs, so being ready is a must.
    • Microsoft has an update on Exchange Online Basic Auth removal for Office 365 by Sayan Sen Back in 2022, Microsoft announced the retirement of Basic Authentication as it was moving to modern OAuth 2.0 token-based authentication. The reason was simple, to move away from such simple username-password authentication to more secure sign-ins. While Microsoft had previously planned to "permanently remove support for Basic authentication with Client Submission (SMTP AUTH) in September 2025", the company has now updated this timeline, adding a final delay. Perhaps this was on the cards given that Microsoft recently extended Basic Auth support for High Volume Email to 2028. On the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, a new message has been posted that details the changes regarding SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) AUTH Client Submission. The message says: Thus, starting March 1, 2026, Exchange Online will begin phasing out Basic authentication for sending emails via SMTP AUTH. At first, fewer attempts will be blocked, but by April 30, 2026, this older method will be fully disabled. After that, any apps or devices that want to send email this way will need to use OAuth. The message further adds how admins can proceed with the changes in case OAuth is not supported: Users who have access to the M365 Admin Center can view the message under ID MC786329.
