Odd. The same thing happens with traceroute, to an IP address.

How about traceroute -n to an IP address?

Same delay. FWIW, the delay does NOT appear between hops, just on the
start-up.

Are there any outgoing IP applications that are not effected?

Outgoing telnet isn't affected.

Hmmm..
What do the affected programs have in common?
What is the significance of the common ~79 second delay?
What changed during the reconstruction of the boot drive
that might explain this?
Any ideas, anyone?
It really does not appear to be name-service related, as both
forward and reverse lookups seem to finish in normal amounts
of time using nslookup, which presumably uses the same underlying
resolver calls.
What else might have some timeout that's taking place?

It's faster to use fronttalk from M-net than to try to SSH into GreX and use
BBS.

Ftp keeps timing out.
psftp gets me just past the Password prompt, then it says something to the
effect of sftp-server: command not found, could not connect.

While using party tonight, I kept getting disconnected; eventually the
network connection appeared to go down solidly. I dialed in direct
to enter this. (It takes about 79 (?) seconds to log in on a direct
dial, too.)

My telnet connections continue to be unstable, though I was able
to connect long enough to enter this...

My telnet is repeatedly being disconnected also.

I get a connection attempt to (TCP Port 6346) from 142.163.11.15
whenever I try to log on.It also takes around 70-80 seconds for a
prompt.

Connectivity has been exceptionally unstable for the last couple of
hours. Type five lines in party at mosst, and then log in again....

re #252, 253: That's very odd, but probably a coincidence..
TCP port 6346 is used for the P2P file-sharing program gnutella
and "!dig ptr 15.11.163.142.in-addr.arpa" shows the host that's
trying to connect belongs to a Canadian ISP, sympatico.ca, probably
a user in Newfoundland.
> 15.11.163.142.in-addr.arpa. 86354 PTR stj515.nf.sympatico.ca.
I'll check my firewall logs tomorrow to see whether I'm getting the
same behavior but I suspect I won't be.

These sporadic lag sessions that last more than a minute every 4 minutes SUCK.
People keep getting booted off.

I got 2 minute lags three times while telnetted to another shell account and
writing a single mail, not a terribly long one. More time down than up.
Telnetted from grex, I mean. I can't telnet there directly from DOS, it does
not like my DOS telnet program.

I got lagged completely off three times today, while dialed in, and was unable
to complete a short email.
Then, just now, it took more than 3 minutes to get from the welcome screen
to the login while dialing in.

Grex has gotten so unreliable in the last few months that, for the first
time since I created my account nine years ago, I've given up on using
it for email.

I've nearly done the same thing myself. It is not only the spam and the
downtime, but also that there have been no upgrades on handling file sizes
and types, while the rest of the online world is bloating.

I just power cycled the DSL modem. Hopefully that'll cure it for a while.
