not sure if it's the same problem for you, but Comcast in my area 
supplies a bad entry for DNS Suffix/Search order

((hsd1.ca.comcast.net)(hsd2.ca.comcast.net))

And my little netgear router doesn't like that entry and _seems_ to 
only supply hsd1.ca.comcast.net)) via dhcp.  My Mac and Winbloze 
boxes do fine, but FBSD rejects the dhoffer unless isc's dhclient is 
used.  I haven't tried plugging directly into the Comcast router, so I 
don't know if FBSD will accept the original offer with parens...

Thanks,
Will

Re: putty times out on 5.3 box

[Will Froning]

Have you actually tried connecting to port 22 via telnet or nc?

If that does work, PuTTY has a tons of debugging options to show you
where things have failed.  If the debugging output gives you headaches
send the output to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for some super help. ;)

You can send me the output off list if it's a significant amount.
