"Connection failed (Connection timed out)" using "bind sockets to this address"

I've got two dynamic ip addresses in my isp, so that I use "bind sockets to this address" to connect to the same ftp, which grants a single ip connection only, for 2nd connection using my 2nd dynamic ip. Yes, it works successfully.

However when I connect to the other ftp server, I don't see why if I use the 2nd ip, the status window reports only "Connection failed (Connection timed out)". If I connect using without "bind sockets to this address" to this ftp server, it works without hassles.

I use active mode for this ftp. I'm not behind a router. The status window message for the successful connection to this ftp is shown as follows:

220 Serv-U FTP Server v4.0 for WinSock ready...
USER abc
331 User name okay, need password.
PASS (hidden)
230 User logged in, proceed.
SYST
215 UNIX Type: L8
CWD /
250 Directory changed to /

200 Type set to A.
PORT x,x,x,x,5,73
200 PORT Command successful.
LIST
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
226 Transfer complete.

Could anyone please advice me to do anything to connect to this ftp using my 2nd ip?
