Slow Telnet

[mezanine]

Whenever my Internet Router goes down all communication to the server becomes extremely slow. I am unable to telnet, FTP etc... Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Probably should have also note the slow connection is on the LAN (same network), and the server is not on the Internet.

It will probably be address resolution.

check /etc/resolv.conf for nameserver definition.
Is your router doing DHCP?
Is your server looking at a DNS server on the other side of the router?

Whenever you make a telnt or ftp connection the daemons on the server try to resolve your client IP to a hostname. If they can't be resolved you will eventually get a login prompt but it will take a while.

# more resolv.conf
nameserver 0.0.0.0
hostresorder local bind

My router is doing DHCP so the client is getting its IP from Router. Yes the router is looking past the router for DNS.

Is there anyway around this?
