I found that after I setup my BIND name daemon, this issue was resolved. If you don't really have a need for a BIND name daemon, I would suggest setting it up with just your 127.0.0 network and your ISP network and set the pointers. You could also contact your ISP and offer to be a backup name server, this would solve your problem, it shouldn't cause them any problems, and you would also have faster lookups for any data on your ISP's nameserver. This is just a suggestion. I set up my DNS with a free domain name from yi.org, where you can get .yi.org for free. There are many services like this and it doesn't hurt. When I remote admin, I don't have to type in the cumbersome IP address, I just type in the domain. This is another idea. My FTPd problem also disappeared at the same time after I set up my BIND name daemon. --- David Malone wrote: > On Tue, Feb 27, 2001 at 10:13:03AM -0700, Nate > Williams wrote: > > > When I first telnet from my FB4.1 system to my > FB4.1 system, it prints: > > > > > > Trying 192.168.168.42... > > > Connected to fb42. > > > Escape character is '^]'. > > > > > > It then waits quite a long while (about a > minute) before printing: > > > > > > FreeBSD/i386 (fb42.cfcl.com) (ttyp0) > > > > > > login: > > Try: > > > > 'telnet -N 192.168.168.42' > > > > -N Prevents IP address to name lookup > when destination host is given > > as an IP address. > > > > If it comes up very quickly, it's a DNS/lookup > issue. > > I don't think that will help 'cos the delay looks > like it is with > the telnetd at the far end trying to look up the > name, not the > local telnet.
