Problems with active ftp from Linux-fedora

[borgeh]

I have problems using ftp (through the "ftp" command) on my
linux pc fedora.

I think this problem is related to a security setting on the linux
installation since:
===
- I can issue the same command succesfully to the same account
and server (ftp server at my ISP) from a Windows XP box that
is behind the same router and on the same LAN.

- I can run the ftp command successfully from my Linux-box
to another ftp server which is Unix-based (ftp server at my ISP)
and demands passive ftp. The ftp that doesn't work is to a
Windows server at my ISP which demands active mode for ftp.
===
Any ideas what I can do to make this (active ftp from Linux-pc) work?
This is my own pc so I have root privileges.

I forgot to add the error message I get:

ftp: setsockopt (ignored): Permission denied
