28 A one minute delay makes me think of DNS lookup time-out failures. The
29 "can't establish connection ...9202" sounds like port 9202 of a
30 non-existant host is wanted. "grep 9202 /etc/services" produces:
31
32 wap-wsp-s 9202/tcp # WAP secure connectionless session service
33 wap-wsp-s 9202/udp
34
35 Do you do anything with wireless?
