Carolyn,

Are you testing from an XP box with ICF on?

That would explain it.

Wow! I have received back alot of great advice and information. At this
point, I am going to use a sniffer, and also try netcat, and see what the
results are.

Nmap was configured with just the default options (one question that was
asked of me).

Sorry I didn't give any specs on the system... The operating system is
actually XP Embedded; the firewall that is being used on the system is the
Internet Connection Firewall. I cannot add software to the system - mainly
because how it is built for the OS. However, I can turn off the firewall,
and plan on testing a theory to see if the firewall might be the source of
the behavior. FTP is definately not running on that system - so it is very
curious.

Guaranteed, I will let you know the results of my testing.

Thank you,
Carolyn.
