Hi! I am using Linux (Red Hat 8.0 with Kernel 2.4.20) on a second computer. It's going online using WinRoute on a Windows computer (NAT). The Linux PC has IP address 192.168.1.103 (name: linux) The Windows PC has IP address 192.168.1.100 (name: andre) Gateway and /etc/resolv.conf are configured correctly. Everything works fine but when I want to establish a connection with telnet on the Linux computer for example to google.com, the establishment lasts about 10 sec. But then it works fast. The command is: telnet google.com 80 The resolve via "host google.com" is usual fast. And if I telnet the IP address of Google instead of the hostname, it works fine, too. The routingtable is: Ziel Router Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default andre 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 192.168.1.100 /etc/hosts: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.103 localhost.localdomain linux 192.168.1.100 andre I assume that there is a problem/timeout resolving hostnames. There is no such a problem under X for example in Mozilla or XChat. It only seem to be programs that work under the shell (like telnet or Lynx). The delay also occurs when I do a "telnet localhost 22". In the logfile of WinRoute I see that the computer does a (reverse) lookup even when I say localhost. I think that this is wrong. So what can I do? Thank you very much! -- Regards, André -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
