Whenever I hear about long connection times, the first thing I think of is a DNS issue...have you checked your forward/reverse lookups for the affected hosts? -Lloyd On Mon, 18 Sep 2006 23:28:48 -0700 "Gill, Geoffrey L." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote thusly: > Sorry for asking this on the ADSM list

This sounds like a dns reverse-lookup issue. AIX ftp and telnet, as far as I can tell, default to doing a reverse lookup on your IP address to get the host name and then a normal lookup to see if the original IP address is returned. I've run into this when the reverse lookup data isn't maintained
