Interesting development-- I checked the ppp0 port with tcpdump and found that the linux box was sending icmp packets to the win box saying that it can't find the DNS name server. These packets had long ttl's so that it took about 3 minutes to establish the ftp connection. These packets continued but with shorter ttl's so as to not interfere with the ftp process. I'm not sure where they come from (I even deleted my resolv config)but there must be some bug in the DNS or resolver code. An expert in network code needs to fix this one, I don't see any requests from the NT box that may be causing this! The DNS it was looking for is my ISP's? Stumpped??
