This is either a reverse DNS, duplex mismatch or routing problem. To see if your are full or half duplex, see if ifconfig reports any collisions on the eth interface - on full duplex you never get any collisions. If it takes a long time from you try to connect until it starts downloading, you have a DNS problem. If the download is incredibly slow and one or more of the network interfaces on A, B or C report a huge amount of collisions, you have a duplex problem. Routing problems usually result in not being able to connect at all, which doesn't seem to be the case here. -- The content of this message can either be used according to normal copyright law (including quoting and personal copies) or by the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html
