We have a windows server 2003 with IIS(6). This is setup as our ftp server. We have the directory security setup to reject all ips except ones listed below. We have another server with ip xx.xx.xxx.xx, which is on the list for accepted ips. Yet the ftp server will not accept any incoming connections from this server. Thank you in advance for helping.

Couple of questions to help troubleshoot.
1) Can you ping the FTP server from the other server? 2) Have you attempted to telnet to port 21 from the second server to the FTP server? If so, what is the result? 3) If you turn off directory security temporarily does that allow you to contact the FTP server? 4) Are you running Windows Firewall (Routing and Remote Access)? 5) Are there any errors in the Event Log?
