Ricardo,
I noticed the exact same symptoms until I made an entry in /etc/host
file for the box I was using to telnet/ftp from. Any light that can be shed
on why we'd need to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks, Gerry

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.
