Author IIS 5.1 and FTP access errors

I have IIS 5.1 and FTP services active on a Windows XP
Professional system. I am getting "FTP Folder Errors"
when trying to access an FTP folder through a firewall.
Access works fine via local lan using "localhost" or lan
computername as the host name. Port 21 is opened up on my
firewall. I know firewall is letting through FTP requests
because I see the FTP sessions in the IIS MMC snap-in.
All FTP site permissions, NTFS file permissions, and user
accounts are defined and look correct.

Why would ftp://localhost or ftp://mycomputername be fine
yet ftp://x.x.x.x <--where x.x.x.x is my firewall IP
address, get folder security errors. The same user
accounts are used. I do have anonymous login allowed and
it gets the same error.

Any ideas on tracking down the source of the security
error would be grand. FTP log in %systemroot%\system32
\logfiles does not reveal any relavent information.

I appreciate any ideas..........
