The standard port for telnet is 23, for ftp is 21 - your windows clients are most likely talking to these ports. I use telnet from Windows NT 4.0 and 98 to access my Linux server on my internal network - dangerous to allow internet access to telnetd. Also, check your configuration files for wu-ftpd to make sure it is enabled. If you have a firewall you will need to configure the firewall to allow ftp and telnet access on the approprate interface.
