A friend of mine has the following problem: when trying a telnet to a (certain?) remote host, FreeBSD takes almost three minutes, while a NT from the same subnet takes less than thirty. If this problem cannot be solved, there is a great chance of FreeBSD being dumped in this place. I suspect this can be solved just by tweaking the TCP/IP options in the FreeBSD box, but since I have never personally experienced this kind of problem, I don't recall what are the prime suspects here. What are the knobs she should try tweaking? Also, what kind of information she could collect to track this problem? I'll be asking her to give me a tcpdump of both the FreeBSD and the NT box telnet connection, but I'm not sure what else to ask for. Thanks for any help, -- Daniel C.
