Had something similar in my network and solved it by adding a in-addr.arpa records for each IP adress on local nameserver and changing w98/2000 DNS configuration to query that local one. I don't really know if it's related but it's worth a try ;-) Replying to this thread is highly welcome, because I am curious too, what might be wrong ( experienced such thing not once ).

When I attempt to ssh from my Win98 box via Putty or from another FreeBSD or OpenBSD box I usually have to wait a couple of minuets (if I'm lucky) to connect. Often I can not connect at all. When I'm finally log into the FreeBSD box everything looks ok. The sshd daemon is running and the only traces of a problem are found in my /var/log/messages. Here's what I see in the messages file: Feb 28 15:46:40 blue sshd[11039]: fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer Feb 28 16:59:45 blue sshd[11123]: fatal: Timeout before authentication for 192.168.1.9. Feb 28 17:07:02 blue sshd[11145]: fatal: Timeout before authentication for 192.168.1.9. Sometimes I don't see these errors as well. Currently I'm running FreeBSD 4.5, but I had the same problem before when I was running FreeBSD 4.4. The weird thing is that a reboot seems to take care of the problem, but as soon as the uptime reaches a couple of days I run into the same problem of not being able to ssh to the box. This is the version of ssh: OpenSSH_2.9 FreeBSD localisations 20011202, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090601f Has anyone experienced this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
