Sounds like a networking problem on you Windoze box.  Personally, I'd
trash it and use a real system but you prolly wanna repair it.

Whatever client is sending that PORT command: get you money back, it's not
speaking FTP.

As for the IP address stuff: get 2.5.0 for some bugfixes and read the
ftpaccess manpage there are options (I'm WAY to tired to remeber what I
called 'em) which should solve your addressing issues.  You want 2.5.0
because it fixes a bug in the features you need.

Hello,

Randomly, when I transfer lot of files (20-30) get the message:
rl-recv: Blocking call cancelled
and the conexion blocks, I must restart the ftp connection for transfer
more files.

I have a 192.168.x.x netword whit a firewall which makes the NAT
translation to a real IP.
The FTP server is a host with real IP, and the FTP client is a host with
192.168.8.10 IP.

May someone had the same problems ?
Why this problems ?
Any solution ?

Many thanks.
