A one minute delay makes me think of DNS lookup time-out failures. The "can't establish connection ...9202" sounds like port 9202 of a non-existant host is wanted. "grep 9202 /etc/services" produces: wap-wsp-s 9202/tcp # WAP secure connectionless session service wap-wsp-s 9202/udp Do you do anything with wireless? HTH, David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
