Sure it's not just a firewall problem?  I'm running XPsp2 with firewall
switched on and the firewall drops local packets the same way as remote
packets.  If I start inetd (as service) and try to connect to ftp w/o
having opened up port 21, it doesn't work.  If I open up port 21, I can
connect.  To get it working entirely, you also have to add
/usr/sbin/in.ftpd.exe to the allowed applications.  But it works usually.
