Here's my thought, you probably should post this in the
microsoft.public.inetserver.iis.ftp group because I don't think it is DNS.
Microsoft's flavor of FTP does not care about it host name, you can connect
to Microsoft's FTP by IP address, I don't think that changed with Win2k3.

How do you have the Security Accounts tab configured?

On the Directory Security tab are you allowing All computers access?

Have you checked your NTFS permissions?

Are you behind a firewall and do you have port 20 open? Since your FTP is on
port 8500 I'm not sure how that works FTP requires two ports, normally uses
ports 20 & 21. Maybe in your case it is 8500 & 8499 but that is just a
guess. List and read are on one port, File transfer is on another.
Internally it is not a problem, externally my bet is when it sets up the
second port for file transfer is where you get kicked.
