Redhat 4.2 and ncftpd

I am running web and ftp services on a Redhat 4.2 LINUX box.  The ftp software is ncftpd.  All processes are running but I can't get the ftp services to run.  I am kinda new at LINUX so bear with me.  I used the TOP command and it displays a 'D' next to the ncftpd.  Any suggestions

D means blocking in a device driver last time I saw it. If something
is staying a long time in that state something bad is probably
happening. Use strace to determine the last system call before it
becomes wedged.

Yopur logs are liable to fill up with messages from the kernel about
devices failing, so you might like to look there too.
You should check your you name service (DNS).

Try using ip numbers, if it works, DNS is the problem
