This slowness might be caused by failing reverse lookups. When you connect to ftp, and SSH I believe, the box trys to resolve the originating IP to a name. That takes a long time if it fails. If you don't have reverse DNS set up, try adding entries to /etc/hosts for the machines on your LAN. --Tim --- Scott Stevens <myxlplyx@fuse.net> wrote: > 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).
