The Infamous FTP 425 Error Can't Open Data Connection

Before you jump the gun and tell me I've configured ports wrong on my NAT router, read on.

I'm using FileZilla, configured to use Passive mode and has my external host name/IP address

My router is a cisco/linksys WRT54G and port forwarding is setup on the ports configured above in FileZilla server.

I can connect using ftp://localhost, but not from the outside.

Did I miss something else?

Webserver is setup the same way (albeit there's no passive/active, just port 80) and it works.

Maybe I need some sleep :S

Here's the log from filezilla from start to finish connecting from FireFox:
