I'm running an FTP server and eventually after a few connections have been made it starts returning a 425 error for people trying to connect. I have to restart the router to clear everything up, does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

what software are you using to run the FTP server?
have the users trying to connect using passive mode if they are using active and if they are using passive mode, try active. also, try checking your router settings.

did you have a client try changing their settings?
What browser? I know in IE, there used to be a setting for passive mode.

Are you running SFTP or straight FTP? You need to run PASV if you are on regular FTP because your router performs NAT and confuses the client and server...

FTP error 425, "Can't open data connection."
Also check and make sure your links are correct. Just one underscore or hyphen mess up is all it takes.

I tried filezilla and could never get it to work. Turns out I didn't open Passive ports, hopefully that clears up the problem.
Thanks guys.
is it soemthing you can maybe share with us in a PM so we can see what the issue might be? if not, I understand.
Is this ftp server running a DHCP or static IP address? It might be the dynamic IP address is changing from time to time for some reason (aside from lease expiration). If it is already set to a static IP address I'd look further at your passive mode settings.
From just a brief google this morning it is worth nothing that others have had difficulty with Cerberus and passive mode.
For what it's worth.
