Greetings,
I've just reinstalled RH61 onto the same (local) box it was on before - but now for some reason when I try to FTP or telnet into it it makes the connection but never sends a response request for username and password (or at least it times out after a couple of minutes) so I can't actually log in!
I've sometimes had problems like this because the DNS wasn't set up correctly - the machine times out trying to work out either its own name or the name of the machine you are calling from. Check the name server in /etc/resolv.conf
