Re: problem with connecting 2 pc's



Your problem is that the linux machine is trying to perform a reverse lookup on the
windows machine, and it takes it about a minute to give up.

If you are connected to the Internet, the DNS is found immediatly, and the machine
gives up immediatly.

In order to solve the proble, either install a local DNS that handles the 10.0.0.2
reverse lookup domain only, or add those two machines to your /etc/hosts file.
