Strange network hangs/delays with Firefox/Thunderbird/ssh

[Michael Neumann]

Hi,

Yesterday everthing works like a charm. Then, today in a different  
network, Thunderbird, Firefox3 and ssh seems to
need around a minute to connect (resolve DNS or load a page, don't  
know exactly), while w3m (text browser) doesn't show
any of the problems (it immediatly shows the page). ping does work of  
course too. Could that be related to threading issues?

The only difference to yesterday (where everything worked perfectly)  
is that today I use bge0 instead of rum0.
I'll try it later in an again different network where I can both test  
bge0 and rum0.

Regards,

  Michael
