Abstract: We show that if $ GFH$ is a double Frobenius group with ``upper'' complement $ H$ of order $ q$ such that $ C_G(H)$ is nilpotent of class $ c$, then $ G$ is nilpotent of $ (c,q)$-bounded class. This solves a problem posed by Mazurov in the Kourovka Notebook. The proof is based on an analogous result on Lie rings: if a finite Frobenius group $ FH$ with kernel $ F$ of prime order and complement $ H$ of order $ q$ acts on a Lie ring $ K$ in such a way that $ C_K(F)=0$ and $ C_K(H)$ is nilpotent of class $ c$, then $ K$ is nilpotent of $ (c,q)$-bounded class.
