Sure it's not just a firewall problem? I'm running XPsp2 with firewall switched on and the firewall drops local packets the same way as remote packets. If I start inetd (as service) and try to connect to ftp w/o having opened up port 21, it doesn't work. If I open up port 21, I can connect. To get it working entirely, you also have to add /usr/sbin/in.ftpd.exe to the allowed applications. But it works usually.
