I think this is a DNS problem. Your linuxbox has trouble resolving the
names of the machines in your LAN.
Do you have a line "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" in your /etc/resolv.conf ?
I had a similar problem today. I deleted the nameserver lines and couldn't
connect with telnet and ftp timed-out after one statusline. Other services
worked as well, as long as they didn't try to resolv a name. Ping worked
just right.
In my case, the tcp wrapper wanted to use 0.0.0.0 as address for a
nameserver when it didn't find an entry in resolv.conf .
Hope this helps.
Ciao,
Martin
