So your telneting from windows. Are doing it on your own network or from another location, if from another location, are you behind a firewall, proxy, what kind of connections are you using? How fast are your computers? How slow is slow to your standards? Is it taking several minutes or maybe 30 seconds?

Let us know dome more details?

oops sorry not enuf details
 

oops!, not giving u enuf details
its all on the same network/wire

windows machine has:
10/100mb 3com netcard running @ 100


linuxbox has:
10 mb ne/en2000


all on the same subnet etc
and took about 30 to 7 minits
(sorry spellings bad)
also got Micro$oft nt dns server thing on the network
dont know if that will make a difference.

hows that?

thank you
