I have a small WISP. I get my internet connection vai several wireless links/towers. My main server is located in my house. My own PC and the Server in question (in the example) are separated by a router in my house (different subnets). Server is fresh install of CentOS 6.3, all updated. Now, when there was power failure (works on the transformer there), I lost my internet connection, but router and wireless routers for the rest of my towers were accessible. SSH logins to any of them is instant. But when I tried to login to my server, it was not instantenous, and I think it was 15+, maybe even 30+ seconds (I forgot to time it) from start of ssh command to password prompt. It is in-house connection, so there is nothing to traceroute. Past experience was, separate from this example, that a CentOS 5.x server in one company slows access, temporary timeout to SAMBA file server when wireless router connecting them to internet is turned off, although they are in local lan with static IP's. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...
