Jensen" To: "'questions@freebsd.org'" Subject: slow response to networking functions Date: Sun, 25 Feb 1996 15:41:44 -0800 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I just returned from a relaxing week's holidays to find my FreeBSD 2.1 system's response to networking functions slowed to a crawl. Pinging to the system works fine, but FTP, telnet, NCSA httpd 1.5, etc. take minutes to respond, regardless of whether I use DNS name or numeric IP address. 'arp' also takes minutes to respond. I have checked the ethernet interface with it's diagnostic tools and it seems ok. Nothing on the system was changed while I was away. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might have gone wrong? Thanks in advance... Neil
