A lot of possibilities:
1) The MS firewall is active and is blocking ftp connections.
2) The Anti-virus firewall is active and blocking ftp connections.
3) The ftp connection is using active mode, but passive is required.
4) The ftp connection is using passive mode but active is required.
5) The content of the directory is too large to be retrieved in the time out defined.
