 * Having a little problem right now, not sure if its because i updated to 3.1 yesterday
   or if is something else, but i just noticed it this morning. When i try to install
   a new theme from the wp-admin, i get the ftp login where it asks for hostname,
   ftp user and ftp password. I am using my desktop with ubuntu 10.10 as my server,
   but all i am getting now is
    `Failed to connect to FTP Server 192.168.0.15:21`
   i’ve tried installing theme from wp-admin from both my laptop and my desktop 
   host machine, ive used the ip address and tried just using `localhost` and neither
   of them worked still got the same error… any ideas what im doing wrong?
