I've got a router/gateway machine running server 2k3 here. My experience with windows servers is a bit limited; I'm more used to openbsd and linux servers. Anyway, it's running fine as a router and everything seems great. It's using the DHCP and Routing and Remote Access services and it's just a basic NAT gateway. WAN IP from the ISP and LAN set to static 192.168.3.1. Then, I wanted to add an ftp service to be accessible from the LAN side. I installed filezilla, bound it to the LAN IP, and it worked fine.
Then I restarted the computer. I know, I know, I should have just left it alone. Well when it came back up, I could no longer connect via FTP. I also installed Cerberus FTP Server as a test and I can't connect to it either. Everything else still works fine.
All I can think is it might be some sort of weird name resolution issue due to the server being on two subnets, but I don't see how that could happen since the ftp server is bound specifically to the LAN ip and I'm trying to access it by the ip address, not a hostname.
Anyone have any ideas what's going on?
EDIT: I also should clarify how it is failing to connect. I'm connecting with gftp from a linux system and it doesn't outright refuse the connection. It says it connects, but then a few seconds later it says the connection failed and tries again.
