This I have done in the netgear admin setup

I am not using a DNS name. I was using my IP address that I obtained through
www.whatismyip.com. I realize that this may change at times, but it seems to be the same as long as my modem stays on.

I am assuming that it is static.

I gave someone my IP address and set them up with an account but they weren't able to connect. Now that I have made changes I should try again.
Which port should they be using in their FTP client; 21 or 2000?
Also, do I need to use PASV? If so, which IP do I put in there, my internal IP 192.168.0.100 or my "public" IP?
Thanks againl.
