If your FTP server has only the regular port it will not be able to accept
connections from a "Passive" mode client. Passive is good fro clients bad
for servers, Active is more secure for servers but bad for clients with
firewalls or some modem / routers.

Most likely I think is that their IE has been set to passive (Tools>internet
options>advanced>use passive mode etc) and your server is trying to use
ports blocked by your firewall. I think any of the replies could be correct
so by all means investigate all of them.
