Some other missing points:
Use another user on WinXP for FTP purposes only and allow ONLY that user on

This seems like a whole lot of work to go through to get around a
problem that shouldn't exist in the first place. If the DHCP/DNS is
setup correctly, every PC should have a valid DNS name that resolves the
IP address correctly. I don't remember any site I've worked at recently

In order to have a Windows workstation accept incoming FTP, in other
words Windows as an FTP server, you have to run the Windows IIS service
or the equivalent. IIS is an optional component of XP and Vista. There
are settings in IIS for starting an FTP server and HTTP server, maybe
others.

Yes it does. You install the Personal Web Services or Server and it
installed Web Server (IIS), FTP server, and a SMTP server.
Initiation and control of FTP always comes from the client.
