Mike, This is definitely MS problem. I have seen this before and had the same problem. One solution is to use passive FTP. I have looked at the snoop packets very closely and confirmed this. This is what happens - When active FTP is used the FTP server provides the data connection port, and switches the ports randomly for data transfer. As long as the client is able to treat this port change correctly there is no problem. However the client ( NT box ) somehow cannot handle this properly all the time. So the server has switched the port and now the server as well as the FW-1 are expecting connection on this switched port, but the client somehow does not seem to have the new port info and uses the port used for the previous connection, which the FW-1 religiously rejects/drops it. Good luck !!!
