That's still an extraordinary long time, I'd expect a few seconds at
the
most. That sounds like nothing provides an answer for the current

Primary and secondary DNS are set in Network Configuration and whois

Will they reverse-resolve the IP address of your interface(s)? What
does "nslookup your_IP_address" return?
