Slow Access.
I have re-installed my Red Hat Linux release 5.2 (Apollo), after this access has become very slow. If I try to access server thru telnet or ftp it takes it's own sweet time to come. If I try to access my mail-box with a mail software, mail software hangs stating no response from the server.
When I send mail using pine, even to the local users it takes long time.
What could be the problem, somebody help me please

You were very much true, there was some goof-up in the DNS entries. Now the situation is that, it is working fine with pine, when it comes to email client software access it is still slow.
Now the access from telnet and ftp is quite fast, when compared to earlier.
Thank you very much for your continued effort to solve my problem.

I had to install IMAP rpm software, which enables pop3 access. Now every thing is fine, thanx for your efforts.
Well, that would explain why the email clients would be, well, real slow. Glad you figured it out.

thanx for your concern
Is the ethernet working properly? It's been entirely too long since I used 5.2 and I don't remember if ifconfig reports packet/errors/dropped/over
Why did you need to re-install? There might be a clue to whats happening now in the reason.
