I recently bought a Nexland hard ware router on Ebay. This works very
well, except that I cannot now use a couple protocols. One is trace and
the other is FTP up loading.

Packets seem to go out OK but the incoming ones are lost. I  presume
this has something to do with the IP address translations in the router.

How do I go about fixing this? is there a setting in TCP/IP which will
allow the remote machine to see mine?

I don't know how FTP uploading works, but using NAT will definitely
stop traceroute from working.  The only way to make it work
correctly is not to use NAT (Network Address Translation).  Demon
assigns the same IP address to your connection every time so you
may be able to put the appropriate address in the appropriate
place, choosing another address for the router.

Users of Apple's AirPort Base Station have the same problem.
