I have all the machines listed in the /etc/hosts file. I tried the
resolv.conf but it didn't help either. I don't feel like it can
be a firewall problem since it eventually works. The name resolution
is diffently a problem for telnet since the ip address is immediate
but why when it is listed in hosts and it is suppose to lookup hosts
first in host.conf and files first in nsswitch.conf? Also the ftp
does not seem to be a name resolution problem since it gives me
the name and address it just waits several minutes to actually work.
Maybe I should try reinstalling wu-ftp or using a different version
of ftp for the ftp problem. I am trying cups in hopes it will solve
the printing problem.
