Hello,

I have add a hostname and IP address to my /etc/host file. But when I
use telnet with the hostname, I cannot get connect to that other
computer with the specified hostname. When I use ftp with that hostname
it takes a long time before connecting. When I use the IP address of
that hostname ftp connect within 3 seconds !!!! telnet connect also but
after a long time ?? I had not this problem when using FreeBSD version
2.1.7. 

Can anybody help me please,
