Can you ping your ip?

It is possible that your isp is blocking your ftp ports.

Try the following, provided you can ping your ip:
pen Internet Explorer, in the adressbar type:
ftp://username@ipadress.com
where you exchange username for the login name you would use to access your server.
I am not usre about anonynous, I never use that.Alternatively you can try a free program called fillezilla (sorry i cant post link yet) which might testing and establishing the connection easier.
Let us know whether that helped...
