Summary of last thread: If your dns isnt setup properly then there will be a delay in connecting to the server. The reason for this is, the remote server is attempting to resolve the local machines ip address. If setup properly, it will resolve straight away. If dns is not setup properly, it tries and gives up (after about approximately 1:15 minutes I would suspect). You need to check the remote machine can resolve your local ip address. To test this on your remove machine type: nslookup 192.168.local.machine.ip.address Regards, Jacob Jacob Rhoden Phone: +61 3 8344 6102 ITS Division Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Melbourne University Mobile: +61 403 788 386 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
