Most telnet clients try to look up who is trying to connect into them. If
that machine cannot resolve gethostbyaddr() requests, then the telnet will
hang until that request times out. Once timed out, it will go ahead and
present the "login:" prompt anyway.
Check your DNS config (/etc/resolv.conf).

Subject: looong connect times
hola amigos,
i have a computer connected to the internet 24 hours a day. why is it that
if i try to telnet or ftp to it, it takes about 1 minute and 40 seconds for
the computer to respond whereas if i http to it (or ping it) it responds
almost instantaneously? if you�d like to try and see what i mean then the
ip is 206.48.106.72. i run SuSE 5.3. thanks for any help.
