1) First verify the process is running. Looks like you did this, but starting it isn't the same as making sure it's still running...

2) Can you connect to ioftpd by running an ftp client on the same machine? You haven't proved to me ioftpd is OK yet.

3) If you can't connect locally use "netstat -an" from a command line to verify that the port your trying to run ioftpd on is listening for connections. Goofing up the Bind= line in ioftpd can prevent it from listening on any port at all. Also, port 444 is (<1024) so you probably need admin rights to setup a service on that port for security reasons.

4) I don't think a wrong config in etc/host.rules results in timed out connections, I think it just forcefully rejects them so I don't think that's the problem, but double check that.

5) Look at the firewall log and see what it says... If ioftpd is up and running the firewall is probably recording (or can be told to) why it's rejecting the connection attempts.
