You are correct, sure sounds like DNS time out problem.
Do you have hostname='gateway.fakeDOMAINname.com' in rc.conf
Do you have entry in /etc/hosts file for ip address of Nic card and
it's FQDN IE: 'gateway.fakeDOMAINname.com'
If this PC is connected to lan, does the lan use DHCP, and if so do
you have ifconfig_xl0="DHCP" in rc.conf?
Check /etc/resolv.conf to see that it has the IP address of your ISP
DNS severs.

Subject: new 5.1 install network problem.
Please help me troubleshoot a network problem. In the past,
after installing, it has all just worked, so I'm not sure exactly
how to best proceed. When the PC was formatted as Win98
the network connection worked fine, and the cabling is on
my work bench and works fine on other test systems, so I don't
suspect a hardware problem.
I just installed 5.1 from the CD's on to an IBM Aptiva E96.
It has a 3Com 3C905B-TXNM card, which seems to have
been correctly identified. On Boot things seem to proceed
normally until the Sendmail message where the boot seems to
stop for several minutes. (I thought I selected to not enable
sendmail .... )
Name resolution is not working and the network connection
seems to be timing out a lot as all network functions are
very sluggish. For instance, I CAN ping the IP of my
name server, however even though the response is less
than 1ms, there is about 80% packet loss.
nslookup can't connect to the name server, even using IP,
and again I suspect that it is timing out.
Was able to connect to my FTP server using its IP to try to
transfer some files, for this email, but the connection timed out
nd was reset when trying to cd to the "input" directory.
Here are what I think are the relevant lines from my messages
log where the card is found on boot:
Dec 22 09:16:27 fbsd04 kernel: xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink

Here is output from ifconfig with the IPs obscured, but the IP looks
good to
me:

Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks, Cla.
