RE: Cannot set up 3rd-party ftp server on VISTA

127.0.0.1 works, I see my files. (I assume this is what you meant by
localhost?)
But ftp://(my ISP address x.x.x.x) does not work, neither in the explorer,
nor in the FTP client SmartFTP.

Directly connected to the modem (without router) does not work.
But my other computer's FTP server is working fine, so the ports in the
router were set the right way.

It is also showing 0.0.0.0:21 and some other 50000-50004

Windows firewall is off, so no ports to be set there I suppose.
And even when turning off the McAfee firewall, I cannot get through.

0.0.0.0:50000 means it accepts connections from all the network adapters.

Have you tried moving it to port 21 just for testing purposes? Remember that
FTP uses two ports, and usually the firewall has to be FTP-aware.

Have you tried connecting to the FTP server from the LAN side? What about
localhost?

I have a problem setting up ftp server, such as serv-U or Bulletproof FTP on
my new computer running Vista. On my old one I could set it up in 5 min. This
is also still working, so my router is not the problem.
I have McAfee, but I gave the program full access, no other options
available, even when turning McAfee firewall off, no connection. Windows
firewall is turned off.

It has to be a Vista security issue. Does anybody have ANY idea. I do not at
this point. In Windows defender you can see networking component or something
like this, and the Serv-U, SmartFTP, or Bulletproof show up but it seems they
are not listening on a specific address. Just 0.0.0.0:50000 etc. and no
foreign address.

Can anyone help me?
