you dont want to login via ftp as root. it is disabled for a reason. you can enable it but that is not a good idea. you may or may not have set up anonymous ftp correctly, the user ftp, and the alias anonymous when logging in via ftp are for anonymous ftp. what user do you use on the box besides root? did you create a user for your self? use that to login via ftp. it will put you in your home directory and you can upload and download as much as you want.
as for connecting from windows, it should work....however, i would not recommend using explorer or the windows ftp command. as with windows telnet, those clients are both broken.
search for ws_ftp on google for a good easy to use windows ftp client.
your linux machine is using a dynamic ip, so it may or may not be the same next time you reboot, and will change for sure when the lease on that address the router gave you expires.
what happens when connecting locally your machine might hang when trying to do a reverse lookup on connecting machines. you can add to your /etc/hosts file if you want an entry for every dynamic ip on your network. you only have 2 machines so, i would recomend you add these entries to /etc/hosts
192.168.1.100 dynip1
192.168.1.101 dynip2
and so on. id also suggest you add your router address for convienience:
192.168.1.1 router
this should speed things up, try connecting again.

MKDIR(1) BSD General Commands Manual MKDIR(1)
NAME
mkdir -- make directories
SYNOPSIS
mkdir [-pv] [-m mode] directory_name ...
DESCRIPTION
The mkdir utility creates the directories named as operands, in the order specified, using mode rwxrwxrwx (0777) as modified by the current
umask(2).
The options are as follows:
-m mode
Set the file permission bits of the final created directory to the specified mode. The mode argument can be in any of the formats
specified to the chmod(1) command. If a symbolic mode is specified, the operation characters ``+'' and ``-'' are interpreted rela-
tive to an initial mode of ``a=rwx''.
-p Create intermediate directories as required. If this option is not specified, the full path prefix of each operand must already
exist. On the other hand, with this option specified, no error will be reported if a directory given as an operand already exists.
Intermediate directories are created with permission bits of rwxrwxrwx (0777) as modified by the current umask, plus write and search
permission for the owner.
-v Be verbose when creating directories, listing them as they are created.
The user must have write permission in the parent directory.
DIAGNOSTICS
The mkdir utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO
rmdir(1)
COMPATIBILITY
The -v option is non-standard and its use in scripts is not recommended.
STANDARDS
The mkdir utility is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible.
HISTORY
A mkdir command appeared in Version 1 AT&T UNIX.
BSD
January 25, 1994 BSD
