In FC7 if I recall there is caching for host names. You may wish to toggle it. Most internet servers are load balanced one way or another so one lookup goes to one machine and another to another. When you are 'done' the load balancing changes changes the responsible hardware on their end and may in fact cause your network connections to be ill directed as a result of your local cache. Try toggling nscd on/off to see if that is involved. Internet timeouts are much longer than we commonly expect. Also double check your name server list, if one name server in the list is down the timeout will be a min or so. It can take a bit of work but, you can use wireshark and or strace to watch your network traffic and program to see what is taking so long (what is different). -- T o m M i t c h e l l Found me a new hat, now what? d -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
