Then you prpably has NOT port forwarding setup in the advanced tab of your router, or 
do you ?

You don't need to do that. As I desribed in my previous post, you enable the "virtual ftp 
server" in the advanced tab in the router under
1. open the router GUI in the browser
2. click advanced tab
3.scroll down, mark the preconfigured virtual ftp server
4.it should be now shown in the fields above with name ect. You ONLY have to put in 
the ip of your ftp server machine, something like 192.168......NOT the public ip !!
5. just click enable
6. click "apply"
7. in the next window "save settings ?"
8.click " yes"
9. Now your ftp server is ready to get connections.

Sorry, but that is totally wrong.

with the normal configuration, you have to update your DNS settings. That will be in 
your case yi.org ? Is that correct.
I'm using zoneedit.com as my dns service.It's free and lost of features with an easy to 
understand webinterface. I'm running my mail and webserver since 2,5 years with them. 
No problem at all.
