Uttered "Rokicki, Andrew" <ARokicki@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, spake thus: > If I am on a network my X works just fine and is very responsive. > When I unplug PC from the network and reboot X is very slow to respond. Check your "/etc/nsswitch.conf" file for a line similar to: hosts: dns files (or anything else before the "files" keyword). If so, put the "files" keyword first: hosts: files dns You probably have a network-based authorization scheme such as NIS, kerberos or LDAP enabled and the "/etc/nsswitch.conf" incorrectly lists them before "files" in the host name resolution. HTH.
