Thanks for the suggestion. They are all internal PCs and they were
already in /etc/hosts file.
Any other ideas?

Sounds like you're having a problem with reverse DNS. Make sure the 
computer can do reverse lookups on IP addresses, and make any necessary 
corrections to the nameserver entries in /etc/resolv.conf. If they're 
all internal PC trying to connect, and they don't have real internet 
hostnames, you may consider adding them to /etc/hosts.
