FTP on IIS 6

Hello, I am working on setting up an internal FTP site for our company. Unfortunately 
I am getting an error I cannot resolve.

Basicallly I configured the Default FTP site. I have a couple test files set up in 
my home directory. I set up my firewall access rule and can ping the server from 
the outside.

The problem is though when I try to access the ftp site, purely by IP address only. 
I get the error 

"Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and 
that you have the permission to acceess the folder"

Details:
The server name or address could not be resolved

This sounds like a DNS issue. But I dont even have a DNS name set up for my IP. 

Is this a permissions issue? Or something to do with the annonymous access? Does 
the annonymous username need to match any specfic account (since the permission is 
based off of the Guest account on the local machine)

Any thoughts? Am I making sense in my description?

Thanks
