I am just using hosts the ftp is the weirdest because it tells me that it has connected to the host and the ipaddress but waits several minutes to actually give me the service. The telnet acts like it is trying to use DNS instead of hosts to find the name since it waits and then connects but connects immediately to the ipaddress yet nsswitch.conf and host.conf should be looking in hosts first since host.conf is order hosts, bind and nsswitch.conf has files listed first under services and hosts. > If running DNS, could be a resolving issue, espeically if FTP is not > listed in your zone files, along with PTR reversing IP addresses...

I have no problem pining the machine ipaddress how do you ping ftp specifically? Linda
