[rescue] We are stumped... (SSH between Powerbook & Solaris box)

[Kevin Loch]

A couple things to check:

Path MTU Discovery: What is the minimum MTU between the boxen?  Does the
powerbook with osx
properly negotiate MTU?  Are the PMTU-D icmp messages blocked by a
firewall?

DNS:  Is anything in the path between (and including) the machines
trying to do reverse/forward DNS lookups?
Do they work?
