I know there are several step-by-step guides available for setting up an FTP Server on a DFL-210 DMZ port. I have followed those guides and simply can't connect to the public IP address of my server. I am hoping someone can point me to the likely error I am making.

I have the following configuration:
Static settings provided by ISP:
IP1 - xxx.xxx.104.18
IP2 - xxx.xxx.104.22
NetMask - 255.255.255.248

In my DFL-210, I have configured
wanIP - xxx.xxx.104.18
wanNet - 255.255.255.248
dmzIP - 172.17.100.254
dmzNet - 255.255.255.0
lanIP- 192.168.1.1
lanNet - 255.255.255.0
DHCP is fully operational

Here's what I did to try and get the FTP Server running on the DMZ

1. Added IP4Host:  'FTP_Server'; IP Address 172.17.100.253

2. Added IP4Host:   'Wan_Pub_IP2'; IP Address xxx.xxx.104.22

3. Added ARP Entry (Mode: Publish; Interface: WAN; IP Address: 'Wan_Pub_IP2')

4a. Added IP Rule: WAN_to_DMZ -
'FTP_Map'
SAT
ftp_inbound
SI: any
SN: all_nets
DI:  WAN
DN: 'Wan_Pub_IP2'
Under SAT tab: Destination: 'FTP_Server'

5. Added IP Rule: WAN_to_DMZ
'Allow_FTP'
Allow
ftp_inbound
SI: any
SN: all_nets
DI: WAN
DN: 'Wan_Pub_IP2'

6. Save and Activate.

I can only access the server via FTP, IF I connect from LAN, and only by connecting with the non-Public IP address.

I would greatly appreciate any help or advice. I am hoping I overlooked something basic, as this seems like a trivial thing to do, in theory.

Thank you very much-

OK, so all I had to do was optimize my IP rules order. Problem solved.

I apologize for being stupid.
