Please help.... Box running RH6 all updates. RH Box IP is 62.82.80.5 on subnet 255.255.252.0 NT PC with IP of 62.82.80.x connects (to the RH box) via telnet/ftp instantly. Change PC's IP to 62.82.81.x and it connects (to the RH box) but after about a 2 minute pause (same for ftp) Going the other way (telnet from RH box to a PC with 62.82.81.x) connects instantly Going between other hosts works,too. Only for hosts within the range of 62.82.81.0 to 62.82.83.254 connecting to the RH box it don't seem to work correctly. Here's the output from route and ifconfig Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 62.82.80.5 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 62.82.80.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default mlr1.gnll.net 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:DA:19:2A:81 inet addr:62.82.80.5 Bcast:62.82.83.255 Mask:255.255.252.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1922 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2402 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:11 Base address:0x1000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:829 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:829 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 I don't know anything else to try.
