Everything works fine before, but suddenly the error occurs since
yesterday. Here is my machine configuration:

I have three Window Server 2003 machines. Each one hosts a VMWare
server, which in turn contains both window based and linux based
virtual machines.

All the window based virtural machines have no problem connecting to
any outside world FTP server. But the linux based (i386-redhat-linux-
gnu) virutal machines return the "421 Service not available, remote
server has closed connection" error right after the "username" is
entered. For instance:

ftp> open wirefreethought.com
Connected to wirefreethought.com (66.199.224.58).
220 (vsFTPd 2.0.1)
Name (wirefreethought.com:root): vince
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
Login failed.
No control connection for command: Transport endpoint is not connected

The strange thing is, if I first do the "ping hostname", then
immediately follow by "ftp hostname", everything works fine. Any
other times the same error occurs. Why does this happen? Everything
worked fine before until yesterday.

Any insight will be greatly appreciated!

Best Regards,
Vince

Sorry, this is a duplicated post, the browser timed out on me and I
thought I didn't post it successfully, therefore I reposted it again.

Can you figure out what operation caused the problem?

I feel that it's the problem of the server. Maybe it cannot accept
more connections.

The server is fine (I tried it with other FTP servers too), I could
make ftp connection to it from all the microsoft window based
clients. The strange thing is, if I do a "ping hostname" first, then
"ftp hostname" right after, it works. I am guessing something like
the client lost its connection route to the server after the initial
connection (after "ftp hostname", and before username is entered).
But why only happens to the linux based machines? There must be some
problem in the network (could be the router) that the window machines
can overcome, but not the Linux. I would like to see if there are
people who had encountered this problem before and had figured out the
solution for it.

Thanks,
Vince

We've figured out the cause of the problem. We have two different DSL
lines. Our router has a capability to intelligently balance accross
multiple DSL connections. One of the DSL line has problem with the
ftp connection. After we disabled the problematic DLS line, the
problem doesn't occur anymore.

Thanks,
Vince
