Hi,
I suspect this is due to DNS lookups, at the moment what does your Qube do for dns?? Look in /etc/resolv.conf and see what the first nameserver entry is.
It should be an internal server that provides DNS (Or the Qube itself if it provides internal dns).
The problem is because when you telnet to the Qube it tries to work out who you are, and does the equivalent of an:
nslookup 192.168.0.5
to your internal IP, if there are no internal DNS servers then it'll connect to the net to see if they can answer the query.
Hope that helps, if you don't have internal DNS, you *might* be able to cheat, and enter in the ips and hostnames into the Qube:
/etc/hosts
192.168.0.5 myfakemachinename.myfakedomain.net
192.168.0.6 secondfakemachine.myfakedomain.net
Regards,
Andy
