I've currently set up a machine (RH 7.1 sorry!) to be both an extra file server and intranet server. To get content up on the intranet I'm using FTP through both Leech FTP and Dreamweaver. However I'm currently experiencing a massive time delay when trying to initiate the FTP session (likewise with Telnet; server is using WU-FTPD), once in it's fine. This would be ok for myself but in the future we will be running web development courses and I require this server to be used by students and a delay of this length would be unacceptable. The HTTP service however (apache) is running instantly and serves everythin as soon as you request it.
I would stake money on it being a problem with name resolution. Check that all forward and reverse name lookups are working properly from the server. HTH, Michael
