Yes, I have both ip_conntrack_ftp and ip_nat_ftp listed. I have tried it
with only ip_conntrack_ftp loaded too. I still get the same results.

Thanks Alexander. I have done as you suggest. I have only listed the
external gateway in /etc/sysconfig/network every this still works when I
connect to the server from my internal network, but not from an external
machine. I think the problem is with the firewall. Trouble is I am not
sure where to look to fix it.
