There seems to be a problem telnetting and ftping *out* of the machine, but not *into* the machine. ftping out usually results in an immediate "connected" message, followed by a wait of 30 seconds to 3 minutes before the login banner and login prompt are displayed. After this, there seems to be no problems, although the transfer rate seems a little slow. On telnets out, the same sort of behavior. There is an immediate "connect", but often that's all. The login prompt is *never* displayed. The situation gets weirder when you look at the local network. ftp/telnet to machines on the local net are fine. And telnet/ftp to the outside world from *those* machines is fine. So there seems to be something about this one machine talking to the rest of the world that's fouled up. The machine is also a web server. HTTP traffic zooms right along, no trouble/delays in either directions, except when using lynx from the command line to access other servers. Here, occasionally (but not always) a web site will load until the last few bytes, then stall for a *long* time. Help! What do I even *look* at? Cliff
