the first thing that comes to my mind is host name resolving.
Check in /etc/nsswitch.conf for a line like this:
hosts: files nis dns
If you do dns name resolving you should check /etc/resolv.conf:
Are all nameserver entries valid? These entries are processed in
sequence: If the first nameserver is unavaillable it waits (half a minute)
and then takes the second. If that fails (half a minute) the third is
checked.
