Summary of last thread: If your dns isnt setup properly then there will b= e a=20 delay in connecting to the server. The reason for this is, the remote ser= ver=20 is attempting to resolve the local machines ip address. If setup properly= , it=20 will resolve straight away. If dns is not setup properly, it tries and gi= ves=20 up (after about approximately 1:15 minutes I would suspect). =20 You need to check the remote machine can resolve your local ip address. T= o=20 test this on your remove machine type: nslookup 192.168.local.machine.ip.address Regards, Jacob Jacob Rhoden Phone: +61 3 8344 6102 ITS Division Email: jrhoden@unimelb.edu.au Melbourne University Mobile: +61 403 788 386 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
