POP3 problems (2nd try)



Since I've installed PLIP on my machine and therefore messed with my
kernel and network configs I have problems downloading mails via POP3.
My fetchmail (which worked well for 2 months before the changes were made)
starts to fetch the first message, waits for about a minute or two!!!!
and then exits with  some timeout error. My checking revealed next things:
1. There is some strange delay on some stage of fetching.
2. It fetches the first message, but because of the delay can't
   even delete it on the server (timeout error reported by the server).
3. I've checked manually 110 port of POP3 server and my local 25 port
   but that way I don't encounter any delays.
So, if anyone knows or has any idea what option in kernel or network
configuration could possibly cause the delay, they are welcomed to try
their luck.
				Thanks in advance,
