Can you give us a dump of a route -n  and an ifconfig

It could be DNS problems,  some services hang while they do a lookup on your
IP.  You might want to try putting an entree in the /etc/hosts file for the
client machines and see if that helps.
It does sound like you have more going on than that though.  So I dont know
if that will help.

Hi. I have just installed Red Hat 7.0 on a computer with an 800Mhz amd duron
processor and 128 meg ram. I installed apache and have configured 4 ip
addresses on 1 NIC. 1 IP has a domain name, www.travelcruise.com associated
with it and the others don't yet. the other ip addresses are 63.226.30.200,
201 and 202. I can reach all of them via http.

The problem is that if I try to FTP in, it takes aprox 3 minutes to connect.
It makes no difference if I FTP in on the LAN or over the internet. To make
an ssh connection also takes about as long.

When on this machine i can ping local host and I get no packet loss and fast
responses, when I ping any of the ip addresses while on that machine i get
slow responses and about 20% packet loss, also if takes 30-40 seconds before
the pinging starts. If I ping an address on the internet, I also get slow
response and about 20% packet loss. that is pining both bu numerical address
and domain name.

If I ping from any computer, whether on the LAN or the internet to the
machine I get fast responses and no packet loss.

I do get good response times when I access the websites though,.

Any ideas what is wrong?
