So anyway I've setup pure-ftpd on my Fedora machine so I can upload files directly from college without emailing myself attachments all the time.

It's all going well until I try to ftp into it from another machine - ftp localhost on the server works fine, but if I try my machine and 'ftp <ip>' it doesn't work. Could it have anything to do with the fact my two machines are on the same router; same IP address?
