you mention "internal" network. to me this makes me think you
are running it behind NAT. passive ftp does not work well with NAT.
try your client in ACTIVE ftp mode or put the ftp server infront
of your NAT box.

if that doesn't turn up anything then check
netstat -an | grep 21
sounds like your problem is NAT though, serving FTP data behind
dynamic NAT is not a good idea. FTP works fine if you use static
NAT(1 external IP maps to 1 internal ip on all ports). I have only
done this on cisco routers though.
