wtf
oh it reconnected
i saw myself ping timeout :)
speaking of which I should probably tell ARP my new card before it runs
Speaking of which, ARP should reclassify themselves as office supplies so I get more points back on my CC :D and easier to write off the business expense at tax time
 is there a windows mosh client?
windows :(
mnathani_: As I recall, MobaXterm supports Mosh
among other things
brycec: thanks, checking out MobaXterm now

have you guys ever seen a linux host fail to resolve a host for telnet, curl, wget, etc. but work with ping/nslookup/host?
the former all do ipv6 as well as ipv4
that's the first thing that comes to mind
i'm not sure what nslookup is doing
that said host does both unless you do host -t a
the other thing is it could be related to nsswitch.conf
check under hosts of nsswitch.conf to see if there's anything other than just "files dns"
although i'd think that ping would use nsswitch.conf
also i know telnet is slow if you don't have reverse dns
even if telnetting to ip
i wonder if it's preferring a broken v6 addr?
nsswitch is
"files dns"
nothing crazy in /etc/hosts
hmm
does it fail quickly or slowly?
check /etc/resolv.conf is sane too
quickly
resolv.conf is sane
hmm are you using a modem as a dns forwarder?
it may have broken dns
Does curl's -v flag give you some clue as to what it *is* trying and failing, exactly?
