I have got telnet running now, by uncommenting it from the /etc/inetd.conf However, as I explained in another message, when I do telnetting from a Windows machine in the LAN to my FreeBSD server, I get an enourmous delay after I filled in the login screen (user, password) and hit enter. That is, the telnet login screen pops up immediatly, it is the loggin in that takes so long. I followed the suggestion below of Marco and checked the Server name and IP in both /etc/hosts and the c:\windows\hosts file. These lines seems to be OK: 192.168.1.3 delta.local.galileo.or.cr delta I also did a nslookup, once within the FreeBSD server: ./nslookup 192.168.1.3 #This is my Server $ nslookup Default Server: LANmodem.local.galileo.or.cr Address: 192.168.1.20 > exit $ nslookup 192.168.1.3 Server: LANmodem.local.galileo.or.cr Address: 192.168.1.20 Name: delta.local.galileo.or.cr Address: 192.168.1.3 Also for the Windows machine: $ nslookup 192.168.1.2 #This is the LAN Windows workstation Server: LANmodem.local.galileo.or.cr Address: 192.168.1.20 Name: tulin.local.galileo.or.cr Address: 192.168.1.2 Any ideas what is happening here?
