Port is 21 by default if they are using an FTP client and they have it set to connect using PASV mode then it will use one of the ports at 2000-2010. You need to forward all those ports to 192.168.0.100

If you are trying to connect to your FTP server on your LAN, your router will not support local loopback so you will not be able to test connection using the DNS name. Instead you will nead to type in the private IP 192.168.0.100 as the address from another PC (Not the FTP Server machine) on your LAN to test connection.

Also do you have a static WAN IP address? or a dyanmic WAN IP address? if dynamic are you using www.DynDNS.org and the DeeEnEs dynamic update utility?

Can you connect to it from a machine outside of your LAN using the DNS name?
