Shorewall Firewall dropping ftp from 2 PCs

If you can open up an ftp connection but not download anything,
then it has all the earmarks for passive ftp versus active ftp
issues. Since it is only on these two machines, then I would bet
those two machines are blocking certain ports, or the ftp client
is running in a different default mode on those two machines.
Try connecting to an ftp site that one of the other 10 PCs can
download from and try doing both passive and active ftp and see
if one works and one doesn't.
