Very Computer

I answered what I believed to be the correct Questions regarding Networking

I said I wanted to do it manually, so I answered the following:

Host: <Valid TCPIP Address>
Netmasks <255,255,255,0>
Named Server IP <Valid TCPIP Address for our name server>

When it finally finished, it tried to log in to CDE, but it took about 20
minutes!!

When I did a cold start, it would take longer. It seemed to take quite a
while on rpc.lockd

When I am finally in, Invoking the Application Manager takes 15 minutes
Applying a change I make in the APplication manager takes another 15 minutes

Oh by the way, while I do have network connectivity, I cant ping to named
addresses. I presume it might be network related.

my resolv.conf looks fine.
It has my domain followed by nameserver xx.xxx.xxx.xx

Any clues?

Ok, two things to watch for...

1) Buggy DNS server
2) Buggy telnetd

fixes

1) Upgrade BIND (or if you are using a NT box as a DNS server, replace
it)
2) Remove the -a parameter from the telnetd in /etc/inetd.conf

Your problem is dns related
