Greetings to the list. I am having a problem with my debian install and I was wondering if anyway else has any solutions?
1) I just installed the lasted release of debian on a pentium 166 system with 64 megs of ram. This system has a pci etherlink XL card in it. Problem: I am having major delays in ftp'ing or telneting to any site from this system. When I try I get excessive delays when prompted for a username and passwd from the remote system. Once I get through that I also have the same delays if I use any commands such as "cd" or "ls" or give a command to download a file. Funny part of the problem is if I ping the address I am telneting to from another login prompt at the same time I am trying to ftp or telnet, the session will work fine quite fast actually. Also if I use and ip address the reaction time is good for the connection. Ftp'ing and telneting into the new system works fine from any of my other systems one being linux and the other 2 being win95 machines. Both linux machines are running debian the system in question running debian 1.2 and the other system running debian 1.0. I have checked to see if the DNS setup for the machines is differant but both are running caching only name servers and the /etc/hosts files and /etc/resolv.conf files are much the same. Even if I have the remote address that I want to connect to in the /etc/hosts file I still get the delays. Any ideas of what could be causing this?
