August 1, 200718 yr With unRAID set to use DHCP, I get an immediate login prompt when telnetting to the unRAID server. But if I give it a fixed IP, there is a 15 second delay before getting the login prompt via telnet. I noticed a similar delay using the route command, where the final "default" route took several seconds to show up, but route /n did not. That's usually a DNS problem. So I added all my IP's to the /etc/host file. Now route command responds instantly, but I still get the delay when opening a telnet session. the route table is no different when booting with a fixed IP versus DHCP, and I can reach machines outside my network and on the Internet from unRAID with telnet, FTP, etc.
August 1, 200718 yr If you use DHCP your router knows how to translate the http://tower name to its IP address. If you do not use DHCP to assign an IP address to the unRaid server, your router must query the subnet to find it. It sounds like you added an entry to /etc/hosts on the unRaid server. (did I understand you correctly?) To speed things up when logging in via telnet, you might need to add an entry instead to the "hosts" file on your PC. That way, it will know the IP address of your unRaid server. (on win2k, the file is at c:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) Joe L.
