What you describe sounds like a dns related problem. And the "long time" you talk about is probably the the 30 sec time-out peiod of the dns system. check your routes and /etc/resolv.conf If you are running a local dns server check that it actually does what it is supposed to. If you are running multiple network cards/segments check your default gateway as well. Best reagrds Jan -- ** Do not use the reply-to address.
