vsftp - unable to connect

I have a simple network at home. I have my fc5 running on one pc and a
win2k pc on the same network. Both are dhcp with 192...2 & 3 as their
ip. I have vsftpd running on my fc5. but when I try to connect from my
win2k with 'c:\> ftp 192.168.1.3', I get an error 'ftp:connect:
unknown error number'.
My vsftpd config file has listen=YES. I may be missing something
simple. Your help is appreciated.

Thanks NS

There's a lot more to the config file than just 'listen = YES'
Do you have passive mode enabled?

What does the vsftpd server logfile say?
