Please advise me on the below: PC1-----PIX------Router----------Router----PIX----PC2 PC1 = nt-box PC2 = unix box framerelay is connected between the two routers PIX codes are 5.2(6) My problem is that when I initiate a telnet session to PC2(unix box), the tcp session establishes right away. But I have to wait for about 30-60 seconds to see the login screen. What is the potential problem in this? Is it on the pix or on the router? Thanks for any help. Please reply directly to me. -fRANK __________________________________________________ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?
