XP SP2 Firewall: FTP runs only first time

[Chris]

hi,
I have a problem with FTP:

- starting an FTP program (checked Filezilla and SmartFTP) the first
time and the first connection runs without problems.

- starting another connection with or without closing the FTP program
first does not work:
Connected to (xxx.de) -> IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx PORT: 21.
Socket connected waiting for login sequence.
Connection closed.

- FTP in Firefox does not work at all, it just loads forever

- FTP in Internet Explorer just says "connection closed" and does not work.


I did check "Use passive FTP" in Internet Options and also specified the
FTP programs as exceptions in the Windows Firewall setup. Still I cannot
access FTP without disabling it. I use an nForce4 Motherboard with
Nvidia Firewall installed but set that to use the windows firewall only.

(sorry, sended post to soon ;)

I also tried to open port 21 but without success.

What else can I do? i don't want to disable the Firewall every time I
need FTP.

thanks
