telnet access slow--HP-UX 11.0

When we telnet to the server from PC there is a long delay before receiving the LOGIN prompt.

Can someone give me few troubleshooting steps?

Thanks

Hi Rajim,

Test the following:
# ping
Check time and TTL
# tracert from PC to Server
tracert
# Check load on server (Top/Glance)
#

Check your syslog.log for errors.

Problems like this could be because of inverse name resolution. If you add the client system to the /etc/host file, and then it works quickly, then its a problem with name resolution. Check your DNS and hosts file.

Hi,

In addition check in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file order of hostname resolution. If you use NIS, run ypwhich. For DNS, run nslookup.
