Sounds like your Server is very busy or something with DNS might be screwed, so:
  • Have a "vmstat 1 20" running and check if your server is very busy. Check for all CPU and PI/PO columns mainly.
  • Ping the server from where you are trying to telnet to it and check if the milliseconds are very high.
  • Try to ping it by hostname, FQDN and by IP-adress, to see if there is any difference.
  • Try to telnet to a different server from where you originally tried it; try it from another workstation maybe.
  • Compare the time while trying to login via ftp or ssh.

GL!
