I had a similar problem when I misconfigured djbdns on my server which were cleared up when I got all hosts (and the name servers) to resolve themselves properly. You might want to go over your DNS setup. A quick test would be to disable DNS entirely on each machine and rely on the hosts files. i.e. change each /etc/host.conf to contain: host #bind and each /etc/hosts to contain: 10.0.0.1 server.yourdomain server 10.0.0.2 client.yourdomain client --devin smith To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
