Check your iptables configuration. Also I would advise you to follow the vsftpd.conf defaults. I mean do NOT accept upload_anonymous but if If you need to upload anything use scp ( psftp for windows). Most important of all get rid of XP and run linux on all your boxes. Life is beautiful with Linux!
