Their bringing in lukemftpd, though I believe the origional is still 
the default, anyway they should both "Just work(tm)".

You could also try a packet sniffer, tcpdump/ethereal/other...
Might tell you a little more about what (if anything) is
going back and forth.

Are you useing the standard ftpd or lukemftpd ?
Running as a standalone daemon or from inetd ?
Do you have any firewall rules on the machine/client/inbetween ?
Have you tried connecting from localhost ?
Do you have anything about ftp in /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} ?
Is your username in /etc/ftpusers ? users in there are _not_ allowed to use ftp.

That looks like a standard timeout message, you connect but
don't enter a username/password, and after a while ftpd disconnects you.
What ftp client are you using ?
