- Last week I posted about our Quadra 700 having awful networking delays
- when it starts up programs. More precisely, it took about 4 minutes to
- get a prompt when "telnet <host>" was executed, but once a prompt was
- available, the actual communication speeds were OK. Telnet and ftp
- both suffered from this.
-
- Well, it's been solved. Elizabeth Leight at Apple was able to take some
- time to offer the right suggestions, so she tracked it down. Simply,
- the loopback address on the machine was not set, defaulting to 0.0.0.0
- with a netmask of 255.0.0.0. Not good. Once I set it via
- ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
- the problem entirely disappeared.
-
- Thanks to all who offered suggestions, I appreciate it.
