Couple of questions... Did you use ServiceInstaller.exe to install the server and use it's default settings? Are you running it as a different user or using firedaemon or something instead? Does the .vfs file for the server reference any networked drives? Do you run any kind of weird software firewall that plays games with network interfaces? If you look through the windows event logs does it indicate anything? Is there a CrashLog.txt file in the /system dir? Any chance this is windows 8.1 which I don't have much feedback on yet?
That pretty lame serviceinstaller script sets ioFTPD to have dependencies so it shouldn't start before the networking stuff comes up, but maybe I missed something. On the other hand I haven't heard of anyone having this issue before so I'm trying to think what might make your configuration different.
