It could be a reverse DNS lookup problem. As the ftpd is trying to get
the reverse name and it is timingout the connection due to it is
waiting for a reply from the DNS servers.  Check to make sure the host
your trying to connect from is in your DNS servers (or add it to the
/etc/hosts file on the ftpd server).
