In order:

1	Check the FTP Publishing Service is active under
	Control Panel/Services

2	Check the same list for other FTP servers.  Clearly
	you can only bind port 21 once to a given IP number

3	Once you've identified the problem, disable the
	fucker.  It's *awful*.  We get at least one question
	about this thing every week.

Which reminds me: how about an FAQ, 'voltmins?
