Thanks to everybody that replied on this. None of the suggestions have
fixed the problem yet, but I have more information.
Recall the problem was:
sage --> bigdog --> ISP
When bigdog is *not* connected, ssh takes about 45 seconds to
connect. When bigdog is connected, connection is quick.
The following is additional information:
ave ping sage to bigdog: .832 when bigdog not connected - and there is
no delay.
ssh -v -v bigdog: shows that the system "hangs" for most of the 45
seconds on the line
ssh_connect: getuid 500 getuid 0 anon 1
All of this seems to me to suggest a problem with ssh configuation
rather than a routing problem.
Again, thanks for any help. I am almost a complete newbie on
networking. I am pretty sure that the network config is good since
everything except the ssh to bigdog works well.
Cheers,
Alan
