ftp windoze <- fc3 works fine, ftp fc3 <- fc3 doesn't work? (for me)

Below are 2 sessions (names and ip changed to protect the guilty), the
1st on the FC3 box with firewall disabled and SELinux off. The 2nd is
through XP, same machine, same connection, dual boot. In XP I can ls,
cd, pwd, get, and send with no probelms. In FC3 I can only pwd and cd,
as you can see below. So the connection in FC3 is good, the server is
good, the box is good, the connection is good, but FC3 ftp prevents me
from seeing, getting, or sending anything to the server.

The key difference seems to be:
  227 Entering Passive Mode (xx,xxx,xxx,xx,xxx,xxx).
  ftp: connect: No route to host
in the FC3 session

I even tried taking advantage of the line "If you experience any
problems here, contact : bob at myserver.net" but the guy on the other
end was useless! [grin]
