not able to ftp in intranet: using ipchain

[M K Saravanan <mksarav@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi,

I am using ipchains in the linux server  to provide Internet connection to
our Intranet.  I am not able to do ftp or wget in any of the system
connected to Intranet except the server which is running ipchain. But if i
do ftp using gftp or thru browser i am able to download the
files.  somewhere i studied that ftp needs to open a data connection with
the target m/c.  

Qn.1) If that is the reason why i am not able to connect to ftp
from intranet?  what is the sol. for this?

Qn.2)  in that case why it is possible thru browser or gftp?
