I've recently started having some interesting network issues with my machine
and was hoping someone here could help me out.

I'm having trouble connecting to my machine running FreeBSD from any of the
other machines on my lan (2 win2k machines and an Ibook). When I use telnet
or ftp, the connection takes an obscene amount of time to connect, I would
probably say almost 2 minutes and ssh and pop3 won't connect at all. Other
things like web traffic and connecting to my shoutcast streams works fine.
If I connect to the machine from anywhere outside my LAN, say from work or a
friends house, everything works properly.

My lan is set up as such; I have adsl which comes in via a Cisco 675, that
is fed into a Linksys Cable/DSL router and then pushed out to each of the
machines. At first I thought something was wonky with the linksys router so
I double checked the port forwarding setup and then ultimately removed it
from the mix all together when the problem didn't go away. Then I switched
out network cards thinking the card might have gone bad (it was pretty old
and needed to be swapped for a 10/100 anyway). Currently there is a Linksys
LNE100TX (v5.1) in the machine, but that didn't seem to make any difference
either.

This problem just came out of the blue the other day and I have no idea
what's up. Any ideas? Keep in mind the problem is only on my local network,
everything works 100% if I connect to the machine from the outside.

thanks in advance,
scott.
