Question : Filezilla Server - Unable to configure it to connect via FTP client

I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2 and have just installed Filezilla Server.  I followed the instructions and created a user named Administrator.  I'm not a network guy by trait and don't really understand what IP goes where and what I need to do port wise.

Our network guy routed port 2121 to my Windows Server.  Do I need to have Filezilla listen to 2121, or just 21?  Right now, it's 21.  Windows Firewall allows 21 in and 20 out.  I also added 3850 - 3859 in Win Firewall.  I set Filezilla to Passive mode to allow a custom range of 3850 - 3859.  Still no luck connecting - it times out.

Any suggestions?  Do I need to set anything in Win Firewall for outgoing?  
Could it be a file permissions issue?  What user should I grant on my ftp root folder?

If you are using set ports, you probably want to disable Passive mode (which is for public servers).

See http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html for a definitive explanation of passive vs active mode.
