Hi, I have two machines that use ftp for file exchange. If Machine1 does ftp Machine2 I get connected to Machine2 (ipaddress) then it waits several minutes before it says what version of ftp and asks for a login. However if Machine2 does ftp Machine1 I get connected to Machine1(ipaddress) and a login prompt immediately. Now if Machine1 does telnet Machine2 It connects immediately and asks for a login However if Machine 2 does telnet Machine1 It takes several minutes however if Machine 2 does telnet Machine 1's Ip address instant connection. The two problems may be seperate but I suspect they are related. the hosts host.conf, hosts.allow, hosts.deny seem to be identical. I also have a auto switchbox to share the printer so both print to their parrellel ports. I wanted to have the option of using a different printer so I setup LPRng with Machine2 as a print server for a hp laserjet IIIsi printer thinking I would use Machine1 to serve as print server for a colored printer. It took litterally 20 minutes for the job to print, so I went back to the switch box. The whole thing is driving me nuts. Does anyone have suggestion on how I can figure out what is wrong? Thanks Linda Hanigan
