Is there an easy way of either removing the reverse-lookup from the FTP and
telnet servers or mapping NT provided DHCP IP addresses to system names? I
ask because in my enviroment, NT is running the DHCP service for all of the
network clients. Thus, I experience the same problem when trying to FTP or
telnet any of our Linux boxes from one of the DHCP'd systems.

add your windoze box to your /etc/hosts file. Your linux box is
trying to reverse-lookup your Windoze box. This is a FAQ.
