by I have just installed RedHat 4.2
I have ftp and httpd running and tcp/tp over ethernet.
My problem is that it takes forever (a minute or longer) over an
ethernet tcp/ip connection to access ftp or http. I can ping the
server and ping from the server and that is fast. During ftp it
makes the socket connection right away but takes a long time for
the directories to appear. Under http, it makes contact right
away but takes a long time to retrieve the page. While making the
connection to the server, if I run netstat it sets there for the
same length of time that it takes to establish ftp or http. Once
the info is sent it behaves normally. Also everything is fast if
I access localhost from the server.
This is my first stab at Linux so any help would be appreciated.
