I've two PC (a desktop and a notebook) running both Ubuntu 16.04.
I've installed in both vsftpd, and both have the same configuration, when i try to connect to the Desktop FTP from the notebook everything works fine, but if I try to connect to the Notebook from any other computer or smartphone via FTP the connection fail and interrupt due to time out. I've noticed that I can't even connect with SSH or VNC, but if i ping the machine reply in less than a millisecond and doesn't lose packets
