Hi,
Maxdb uses gethostbyaddr() to allow a readable hostname in the diagnostic message 
file. If your DNS server i.e. is not reachable the host lookup runs into timeouts. 
Those will be visible in xserver.prt ( or xserver_DATABASEHOSTNAME.prt if you have a 
newer release ). You can switch of DNS name resolution off by starting the xserver 
with -F option. This helps on the server side. On the client side you should try to 
connect by specifying IP address dd.dd.dd.dd instead of hostname. If this helps, you 
should correct your DNS server configuration...
