That sounds like its having problems performing a reverse DNS lookup. Give it time. If its only a reverse lookup problem, it'll add about 2-5 minutes to the startup time of many daemons like sendmail. > Cable modem connected to a hub.

If you install and run netatalk on the 3.3 box, can the Mac connect to its AppleShare services (over AppleTalk, not IP) while the 3.3 box is experiencing the problem? Can it connect to its AppleShare-over-IP services while its experiencing the problem? If it can't connect to the AppleShare over AppleTalk services, then its more than an IP problem.
