I have resolved my issue and now I am able to ftp from WinXp to my Linux box. I had a friend of mine along with sansolaris's post(much thanks) so I wanted to pass them on. The main reason why I could connect is because I didn't change the wu-ftpd file. Here are the steps I used. If anyone would like to make any suggests, please feel free.
1. Install WU-FTPD (it is an RPM on the CDs)
2. Edit /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd
Change the last line to "disable=no"
3. Edit /etc/ftphosts
Add a line as follows:
Allow user_name * (the * is from where you can access FTP-- *
means anywhere. You could lock this down to a particular IP or
subnet).
4. That's it... it should be up and running. You might have to restart the
xinetd. You can do that by typing "/sbin/service xinetd restart"
5. You might want to check your firewall rules... most medium to high
security rules will not allow inbound FTP access. You can flush the rules
by typing either:
/sbin/iptables -F
/sbin/ipchains -F
