[hylafax-users] Weirdness

["Rob Poe" <rpoe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Installed the newest 4.2.x version the other day over the 'net.  Got the
comtrol Rocket drivers compiled (the ones on their site don't compile
under Centos 4.3) from a beta version on their FTP site.  Sent it a fax,
and worked just dandy.

Tried connecting over the 'net to the Hylafax server (yes, I opened two
ports to it) and got 
"please login with user and pass".

Since I'm using Frog Fax@Mail, and it doesn't do passwords, I put in
the global "allow" in the hosts.hfaxd file.  

Tried connecting over the 'net and could never get connected.  

Tried connecting at home, and after about 40 seconds it FINALLY let me
in.  

On a hunch, I put my host in the /etc/hosts with a name.  Tried
connecting again and it was almost instant.  

Why is it reverse looking up?  How do I turn this off?  Why was it not
letting me connect from over the 'net?  I could telnet to that port and
login.  

Weird, huh?
