Check /etc/resolv.conf and ensure the DNS is defined and operational Check /etc/mail/sendmail.cf for FQDN that is not being resolved Check /etc/host for local definitions. The major hangs on boot is typically DNS related so that's where you could start… Just my 2 cents… good luck!!! _______________________________ Paul J.

The started when I loaded the latest distro (as of about 3 weeks ago). Any clues or advice on what details I could add other than what's below?
