Hi , I have got a new problem with my red hat 6 linux server ... I have setup my server as a dial in server, where people log into and establish ppp connection from their windows machine ... Now after i have connected, when i type 192.168.5.3 (that's the ip address of my server.) on my browser, i get the correct It worked page very quickly. though when i use telnet 192.168.5.3 it is taking quite some time (around 5 mins.) to display the prompt .... also when i check my mail with my pop3 client (outlook) it waits at the connecting and authorising stage for a same long time. ( i removed the # sign before pop3 in /etc/inetd.conf file) It used to work very correctly before, but i don't know whats gone wrong. The connection speed is quite good, so i suspect that the server is trying to resolve the names or something like that . I dont use DNS and i am satisfied typing the ip addresses... Please help. Thanks a lot. Gaurav Agarwal -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Linux India Mailing List Archives are now available.
