Sounds to me rather like a problem with your ftp config.. Could you
please post it here?!

I don't think you need to have any entries in
hosts/hosts.allow/hosts.deny at all. afaik they are rather a security
risk then anything else; hence all blank..
Iptables (firewall) is default configured with policy allow all. That
shouldn't be the problem either..
Do you have any other services running on the server that can be
accessed from your hosts successfully?

Have you checked with netstat -na whether your server listens on the ftp
ports (20,21)? Or do you configured inetd?

regards,
.christoph
