you have to install wu-ftp as standalone to stop and start it with
/etc/init.d/wu-ftpd stop|start. otherwise it is started on connection by
inetd (check /etc/inetd.conf).
i think this is becaouse ie cannot connect in passive mode.
btw if you have cable you may be connected to the internet permanently and
therefore i recommand another ftp server (eg proftpd) due to security bugs
in wu-ftp.
