With my box behind a router with a cable-TV connection, vsftpd worked fine for internal and external users. Then I relocated and switched to DSL...suddenly vsftpd external-connection attempts time out...and don't even leave any tracks behind in vsftpd.log. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

if you switched ISPs it is likely the new one is blocking the FTP port (20? 21? I don't remmeber).

Forwarding port 20 (as well as port 21) did the trick. Thanks to SinShiva at Craigslist for the solution.
