Telnet/FTP: Delayed Connection

Hi,

I use a Solaris9 SPARC, NetraT4 machine which I connect to using telnet/FTP from Windows. But of late both the connections take quite a while to open a session. The problem occurs even when no one is connected to the system. The system works at normal speed once connected to. What might be the problem?

"uname -i": SUNW,Netra-T4

Regd,
M.

This problem has been solved. It was due to an erroneous DNS (nameserver) entry in the /etc/resolv.conf file.

I guess the server was trying to resolve the name of the windows machine that was trying to connect to it.

Anyhow:
If this is the case, why should it connect after a while (1 min or so). Logically it should not connect at all, right? The Server was not able to resolve any names with the wrong entry. Would like to get this clarified.
