Summary of last thread: If your dns isnt setup properly then there will b=
e a=20
delay in connecting to the server. The reason for this is, the remote ser=
ver=20
is attempting to resolve the local machines ip address. If setup properly=
, it=20
will resolve straight away. If dns is not setup properly, it tries and gi=
ves=20
up (after about approximately 1:15 minutes I would suspect). =20

You need to check the remote machine can resolve your local ip address. T=
o=20
test this on your remove machine type:

   nslookup 192.168.local.machine.ip.address
