Okay, My problem is resolved to some extent.
The problem is with my Norton Anti-virus... Internet Worm Protection. I
was able to turn this off, which then Windows Security shows my firewall
to be off. Then my FileZilla Server ran just fine.

The problem is that I can't configure my Internet Worm Protection to
Exclude FileZilla. Something is wrong with the Program Control Button...
Which crashes Norton.

I'm not worried about this since I'm able to turn Internet Worm On/Off. I
can deal with this just fine.

Thanks everyone for your help. This was a great learning process and at
least I now know that there is nothing wrong with my system or with the
firewall.

Thanks again....Issue Resolved. Yeah!!

The applet won't come up because the service is not running. If I
select okay to launch the service, then I'm right back where I started.
It shows the firewall to be off while Security Center is showing the
firewall to be on. Technically, I would not know which applet is
correct except for the fact that the website that tests the ports
indicates Stealth and the fact that the server does not work. I'm am
review an issue with Norton Worm Protection which seems to be similar to
a firewall. No conclusions yet. Will review more soon.

Hello,

Seem to be running out of options - what happens when you click on
Windows Firewall in Control Panel?

Are you able to connect to the Filezilla server from localhost/other
LAN computers at port 21?

I have done this. Then when I click Security Center (Control Panel),
it shows the Firewall is still running. And of course, my server, via
port 21 (or what ever port I choose) still shows as stealth. When I
bring up an ftp program, it still does not connect.

My windows definitly must have something corrupted that deals with
the Firewall.

Hello,

Disable Windows Firewall.

Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Look for
'Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing' > Double-click > Set
to 'Disabled' (Startup Type) > OK > Close > restart

All of these are great suggestions and I have already done all of
them.
I've used another computer plus I've tried my ws_ftp program to
access it. I have a friend that tried and it is still not working.

Here's the clincher.
My "Test" computer has pull out drive bays. I can pop this drive
out and put another drive in that also has WinXP Pro. The second
drive does not have all my programming tools on it. The FileZilla
program works fine on this second drive. So it is not my ISP. I've
been using this Virtual File Server for a few years so I'm very
familiar with it.

I'm pretty positive, the issue is with Windows Firewall .... that I
can't shut it down.
Is there something in the Registry that can help. I need to shut
down Windows Firewall!!

Hello,

Many routers have a security feature that will block all access
from a computer once it detects a port scan.

That might be a possibility. Try asking a friend to connect to your
FTP rather than using the shields up.

Yet another possibility is that the ISP is blocking port 21. Try
using a different port number.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I'm on a router and the router is
passing my LAN IP thru port 21.
I've isolated the problem, I think, to Windows Firewall. I can't
seem to turn it off. I beleive it is blocking the port
communication. When I bring up "Windows Firewall", from the
control panel, it always shows the firewall as on. I try turnning
it off with the dialog page. The off is selected, however, the
firewall is still up.

So I tried to pass port 21 as an exception. Again, it seems to
accepted but when I do the Shields Up test (tests the ports), port
21 still shows as Stealth (mean the firewall is still blocking
it).

How can I get control of the Windows Firewall? I looked at the
Services, but they seem to control all the interfaces (GUI) but
not actually do anything about turning the Firewall off.
Can you help me get rid of Windows Firewall?

Hello,

Is the PC connecting through a router (Also know as wireless
access point)?

If so, you will need to configure port forwarding at the router
to forward port 21 to your computer - http://www.portforward.com

Having issues with a File Server (Virtual) which use Port 21.
Doing a "Shields Test" port 21 shows to not exist, which means
it is stealth. This is normal if your firewall is running but
mine is off. I expect the port to be recognized and the status
should be closed. When I run my file server, the port should
show open.

Shields up test can be done here:
https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2

Program I'm running is:
FileZilla 9.23 (free download).

I've run this application succesfully on my other computer but
this computer (I call my Test Computer), will not run properly
run.. which opens the port 21 as a server.

Are Port Assignments in the Registry somewhere?
