Thanks for the hint. I added entries REJECT-ed the incoming and outgoing connections via tcp/udp on 113 port (identd) but unfortunatly that doesnt felps. -- In the case with the SMTP I am duing telnet on port 25 and the machine is responding immediately with: Trying xx.xx.xx.xx... Connected to xx.xx.xx.xx (xx.xx.xx.xx). Escape character is '^]'. but the actual response from the mail server: "220 mail.mydomain.com ESMTP" apears in around 1--15 seconds -- In the case with the FTP i get the login prompt in around 10s after I initiated the connection. Thanks for any help Cheers vlady >On Tuesday 22 July 2003 12:42, Andrew Greenburg (Intelenet) wrote: > This is probably an identd issue.
