- My off the cuff guess is that you are failing a DNS lookup for
- some reason or other causing idmnt to wait for a DNS query to
- timeout (~20 seconds). If you per chance had 3 DNS servers configured

- IN any case; a network trace of some sort send to <support@ftp.com>
- should quickly clear up your problem.
