If it says [Connecting to internet] then it is waiting for DNS to resolve 'internet' Depending on how broken your DNS configuration is you may have to wait a long time, it uses the glibc getnameinfo function which will perform IPv6 lookups first. The way glibc does it is kind of borken so their may be a long delay if your DNS is not set properly. Jason
