[svlug] networks and cdroms

[Dave Zarzycki]

I hate to respond to my own message, but I neglected to explain *why*
you were experaincing the problem that you were.

What is happening is this: the telnet server wants to do a reverse lookup
on your IP address for logging purposes (IP address to hostname). If you
have a DNS server defined in /etc/resolv.conf, you need to wait a
predetermined amount of time on each server until each one times out
(assuming you can't talk to them, or they ignore you). You could remove
the servers from /etc/resolv.conf to avoid the problem, but I presume you
put them there for a reason. ;-)
