I can try that but in the meantime, I fixed the problem by doing this:

I used Currports and first stopped the process then deleted it. I then
accessed FTP and bingo it works fine now on port 21. Next time I'll run
the
process explorer. But I wonder if it gives any more information than
Currports which also shows the process which was the svchost...

Thanks,
Dale

Can you get process explorer from sysinternals.com and check what is
inside
the svchost?

I installed IIS on a W2K PRO machine with SP4. I checked and made sure
both
the FTP publishing service and IIS was started which they were.

After installation, when I tried to start FTP, I get the following:

Internet Services Manager | Default FTP Site (Stopped)

Rightclick | start ----> "Address already in use."

Rightclick | properties | FTP Site | IP Address = (All Unassigned) and
the
default port 21.

I ran Currport to see what ports were open (as well as netstat -an) and
found that the process svchost 1056 had port 21, which I assume is the
FTP
publishing service.

But I also noticed that the svchost 1056 had 3 other ports as well.

Any idea why I can't get the port 21 to work? When I change it to
another
port like 49230, it's fine.

I looked at add\remove programs and no other FTP service is started.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks,
Dale
