Greetings to the list. I have installed the latest version of debian on a pentium 166 system 64 meg of ram. I installed to a second hard disk on the unit with win95 on the 1st disk. I have no problems with the win95 boot and usage.
I have an etherlink 3Com PCI card installed. This is the problem: If I telnet out or ftp out I wait long periods of time for the username to be excepted then the passwd. From there it is the same for "ls" or any other command. For example. System www2.deltastar.nb.ca is the system with the new debian release on it and www.deltastar.nb.ca is the my main system with debian 1.2 on it. BTW both systems have the same hardware as in system and ethernet cards. I telnet or ftp over to www.deltastar.nb.ca and it takes forever to login and do anything. If I login into the www2 system from www it is real fast and know problems. Every ftp or telnet site I try from www2 takes forever to get into and get anything done. One other strange thing is when I telnet or ftp from the www2 system to www system I tried pinging back at the same time I was logging in. When I do that the www2 system can get onto www fine real fast. I was thinking this could be related to DNS and the install of a caching only name server on the www2.deltastar.nb.ca system but I am not sure. Both system have valid ip's and valid DNS lookup. Any help on this would sure be apreciated. Brian Freeze Deltastar Communications Ltd RR#2 Belleisle Cr. New Brunswick, CA E0G 1E0 Voice (506) 485-2541 Fax (506) 485-2129
