Even though you are using IP numbers, telnet tries to determine the reverse
map using DNS. To resolve this for your 'local' network machines you need
to run DNS or at a minimum populate /etc/hosts file with IP/Names for the
machines on your network. For latter make sure /etc/hosts.conf the entry
"hosts bind" in that order.
