ok, using your external IP i can get to your ftp server login screen. i had a similar problem at my old job, where i couldn't get into my ftp server by going outside to the internet and back again. however from outside of the office it would work. seems it's the same case for you.

FTP actually traverses over two TCP ports, 20 and 21. One is used for login, authentication, commands, and other session controls, the other is used for data transfer. Most routers handle "FTP" correctly as a defined service, but if you are simply forwarding a single port, that might not work.
Try playing around with that.

the reason you couldn't get it to work from inside is that your router has to NAT the IP address... which means your computer (the .100) appears to be the (insert external here) to the outside world, HOWEVER... to the inside of your firewall, you are the .100 address, you will not be able to connect to your external IP addy from inside your firewall, the router portion of your linksys sends out your signal, natted (its doesn't work, if you want a better answer, I can give you one) From the outside, you don't have a DNS entry, which means the person HAS to connect to you via the IP address, nothing else will work, if you had a DNS setup to that IP address (godaddy.com can help you there) then they could FTP into your computer.
hope that helps
