Maybe the client tries to look up the IP address 192.168.1.1. Try "ping -n 192.168.1.1" also. Network timeouts like that are usually DNS timeouts, in my experience. If something takes X seconds longer each time, check if resolving works first. Ketil - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
