It drives me nuts... I have had many people say it is due to dns but I am ssh'ing by IP (same problem by telnet) I am using a Petium 120... the wait is like 30-45 seconds before I get a login promp! Once logged in the rest of the seesion runs great... --Scott "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember.

Bill - You are correct. DNS only comes into play when you connect via a hostname and the hostname needs to be resolved to an IP address. Once the login prompt is reached, this step has been completed. Steve - Try to connect using the IP address instead of the hostname. If there's no delay using the IP address, then you have a DNS issue. If there is a delay, then it's something else, possibly a routing problem.
