You need to test again over the internet (outside the apartment). The masquerade address gets in the way for local LAN connections. In addition, 22121 is probably not being forwarded to 21000, because you are not connecting externally.
If you need to use FTP inside the apartment as well as outside, I suggest using the FileZilla client. That particular client will work even if masquerading is off. (if the passive port IP address is private, FileZilla will ignore it by default, and use the external IP it sees in the TCP connection). Not sure if totalcommander does that trick, I haven't used it.
If you want to try that,
-set the NAS to use port 22123 as the main port, and 22124,22125 as passive ports
-turn masquerading off (use the local address / nas name for in that field).
-connect as externalip:22123
This assumes that despite the "passive ftp" comment in your port list, the apartment does not have a firewall that actually validates the protocols on the forwarded ports.
I allways use CIFS inside my appartment so that souldnt be a problem :) I just need to run FTP so my familiy etc. can reach my NAS... Ive been using remote readynas for it but the performance is a bit too slow for me :/.. Also the need of a program whenever I wanna access it is kinda anoying... Anywho.. The way I understand ur post the settings are correct if I wanna access outside my LAN so im gonna try that :)
