No FTP after Service Pack 1 ?

Hi,

The firewall that comes bundled with Windows 2003 Service Pack 1 is
causing IIS to be unavailable to the outside world. By allowing inbound
connections on port 80, I can make the web server accessible, but I'm not
sure how to handle FTP. I can open port 21, but since passive FTP requires
the use of dynamically determined ports for subsequent inbound connections,
I can't seem to get inbound FTP to work properly without disabling the
firewall entirely. Any ideas?

Thanks

Nevermind. I figured it out. The executable "inetinfo.exe" needs to be
manually added to the firewall's "exceptions" list.

This doesn't solve it for me.

FTP does not work with Firewall enabled, turn off firewall and it works
right away.

I added inetinfo.exe (\system32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe) to the exceptions and
it didn't help..

any other ideas?

Enable firewall logging and see if it's dropping ftp traffics
