I take it the name servers are not your, right? SSH gets problematic if DNS does not work properly.. Could it be a firewall problem? Do the name-servers know who you are (Is your host in the zone?). You can try dig @name-server some.box.here to query a specific NS, try doing this with your name servers.. thanos

Please be kind. Help. I have been using a server to develop on and am prepared to move to the internet. I orginally set up the server on a 192.168.x.x network and have been using it for about a month. I want to move it to the internet and am having trouble configuring the network manually. I set the ip address with subnet mask and default router in /etc/rc.conf. I edited /etc/resolv.conf and changed the name servers to the correct name server address. Now when the server starts it hangs for aboutn 5 minutes when the "starting sshd" message is displayed. I can ping the name servers, but nslookup times out when querying well known web sites. I must have overlooked something or left something out? Any help appreciated.
