FYI: I figured out what was 'amatter: I had to add a zone and zone file in DNS for the other 3 class C's that comprise the 4 class C range of the /22 CIDR subnet, and add all of the IP's to the domain zone file. Now it's working correctly. Scott ------------------------------------------ Box running RH6 all updates. RH Box IP is 62.82.80.5 on subnet 255.255.252.0 NT PC with IP of 62.82.80.x connects (to the RH box) via telnet/ftp instantly. Change PC's IP to 62.82.81.x and it connects (to the RH box) but after about a 2 minute pause (same for ftp) Going the other way (telnet from RH box to a PC with 62.82.81.x) connects instantly Going between other hosts works,too. Only for hosts within the range of 62.82.81.0 to 62.82.83.254 connecting to the RH box it don't seem to work correctly. -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
