Slow SSH connection buildup

Hello, i have a problem while connecting to (openssh) hosts from the commandline of my Mac OS X 10.4.3 machine.
The connection takes very long to complete, i have this to nearly all hosts on my network, and on the internet.
There is a 'pause' of about 20 seconds between these two lines:
debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.8.1p1
debug1: An invalid name was supplied
After some research i think the kerberos authentication is to blame for the delay, but setting GSSAPIAuthentication and GSSAPIDelegateCredentials to no, or starting ssh with -k doesn't solve the problem.
I have been searching for a solution for this problem for quite some time now, has anyone seen this problem?

Thank you both for your quick replies. I happened to try these suggestions both allready and they do not sufficiently solve my problem.

  • SSH from work machine to home machine is very slow to connect

    If I try to SSH to my home computer (using its domain name or IP) from any computer on my office's network I get very long delays (using the -vv flag to debug). But if I SSH to my home machine from a computer outside of my office's network my home machine responds fine, no delays. And I can SSH from my office's network to any other remote machine no problem. It's only my home machine that is experiencing delays. I should add that I can AFP/VNC connect from my office to my home without issues either, this ONLY affects SSH connections.
    Here's the output from the initial SSH attempt from my office to my home machine (I've made the info anonymous):

    In researching this it seems like it could be DNS issue? Any help would be appreciated. It's driving me crazy.

    Well, I spent long time with Apple Phone support, they made me delete the library, move some iTunes file from Library folder on my MBP but that didn't help.
    I also did reset my Apple TV, and did all the settings again. No change.
    I read somewhere on this forum itself I think to remove "Share my Library on local network" option from iTunes preferences, under sharing. As per the suggestion, this is an old option, and when you have home sharing on, you don't need this to be checked. More over it causes sharing to be slow. So after I unchecked it, I ATV3 and my MBP on for about an hour, and when I came back, it was all just perfect!

  • Problems with SSH: Connection Refused

    Greetings fellow Arch users,
    I have hit a bit of a snag that I could really use some extra help getting around. I've tried everything I can think of (and everything that Google thought might work) and I have my back rather against a wall, so I thought I'd come here to see if anyone can offer some advice.
    To make a long story short, I am a college student and am attempting to set up an ssh server on a desktop at my house so I can access it remotely from the college. I have the computer set up and the server running, however I am having difficulty making connections to it from my laptop. I know that the server is running, because I can log into it both from the server itself (sshing into local host) and from my laptop when I use the internal IP address.
    The server is on a static IP address within the network(192.168.0.75), and my router is configured to forward TCP port 1500 to it (I'm using 1500 as the port for my ssh server). However, when I attempt to log into the ssh server using my network's external IP address, the connection is refused. I used nmap to scan my network and found that, even though the proper ports are forwarded to the proper place as far as my Router's configuration interface is concerned, port 1500 is not listed as one of the open TCP ports. I also, to test it, temporarily disabled the firewalls on both the server and the client. That didn't help. The command that I am running is:
    ssh -p 1500 douglas@[external ip address
    As I am really not sure what is causing this problem, I don't know what information to provide. So here is everything that my inexperienced mind sees as likely being important. If you need anything more, let me know and I will do my best to provide it.
    Here is the sshd_config file from my server.

    Thank you guys ahead of time. Getting this server operational is hardly critical, it is just a side project of mine, but I would really like to see it working.

    Okay, so I finally have the opportunity to try and log in from a remote network. And. . .  it doesn't work. Which is just my luck because I now need to wait an entire week, at least, before I can touch the server again. Anyway, running ssh with the maximum verbosity I get this output:
    douglas ~ $ ssh -vvv -p 2000 address

    ssh: connect to host address port 2000: Connection timed out
    It takes a minute or two for the command to finish with the connection timeout, as one would expect. And yes, I am reasonably sure that the address that I am using is my home network's external IP. It is dynamic, but I checked it before I left which was just over an hour ago. I guess that it may have changed. I'll know that for sure in the morning, when my server sends me an automatic email with the network's current address. In the meantime I am operating under the assumption that the address I am using is correct. What else could be the problem?

  • My 2007 mac pro has a slow internet connection with lion

    Hi:
    I've been dealing with a severely slow internet connection with my 2007 mac pro - dual quad core.  I have os 10.7.3.  I use wifi. 
    Typically, I'll experience difficulty loading websites completely.  Certain sites have a 90% failure rate to load most elements.  Other sites operate quickly from time to time.  Often, a site will simply fail to load at all.  My cable company cannot find anything wrong with my connection and other, newer devices don't have a problem loading sites.  It seems the issue is most likely related to my computer.
    Interestingly, I can usually "jump-start" the connection by turning my wifi connection off and on and this will (temporarily) allow me to get an image or video to download.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you for your time.

  • Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit) fresh install, only WLAN and video driver installed but EXTREMELY slow internet connection...

    I recently checked my internet connection on my Asus G53SW and found that it was extremely slow on both the LAN and WLAN connections. I checked with a different laptop (old HP Pavilion) and I get a steady 74mbps+ connection using the same LAN cable and
    also with the WLAN connection. My ISP has checked their side and everything is fine.
    To try and resolve the issue I tried uninstalling, disabling and tweaking various software and even tried safe mode with networking, all to no avail. I then decided to do a complete fresh install this afternoon. I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
    successfully onto my SSD and everything went smoothly. I have now only installed Nvidia video drivers and the (only) WLAN driver from the Asus support site.
    My WLAN connection remains incredibly slow (amost half what it is on the HP and my MacBook Pro). Clearly this is an issue with either the Asus laptop or Windows but I don't know how to proceed in order to eliminate which it could be other than to try a different
    o/s to W7-Ult.
    Can anyone help who knows more about this than me? Perhaps someone who has had a similar or the same problem because this is giving me a severe headache!
    Thanks in advance to all and for any advice.

    Thank you for responding. As I stated in my original post the reason I went through this process was because of an extremely slow internet connection from both the WLAN and LAN connections on my G53SW. At that time I had all of the correct drivers on the
    machine. Whilst I would agree that with the machine only having a video and WLAN driver it may well not be working 'optimally', the rationale for doing this was to get the machine working with the minimum of processes to show that it was not anti-virsu software,
    Steam or the like causing interference.
    I have changed out both of the HDDs this evening (a primary SSD and a secondary 1Tb HDD) for a clean hybrid 1Tb Seagate drive. Once I have installed all of the Asus drivers (and nothing else) I will try the speed test again and report back.
    I can now report that with a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and ONLY Asus drivers as supplied the issue remains. On a connection where I should see around 75mbps I am actually getting around 18mbps, sometimes considerably slower. This only affects
    my Asus machine.

  • [SOLVED] Problem with adding a SSH connection to startup

    Hi guys. I have a problem with adding ssh connection to startup. i want this command to run before kde login screen  and keep running all time.
    ssh -D 9292 remoteuser@remotehost
    but it doesnt connect. Thanks for help!

    you need -f, which sends ssh to the background, and -N which does not execute a remote command.
    If you need it to run as a user other than root, then you probably need to utilize su as well.
    it didnt work either. i am putting it in rc.local but doesnt work.

  • Slow VPN Connection

    I have had Windows Server 2012 Essentials setup and running now for over 12 months and have been using the Remote Web Access to share certain files with our employees. When using the RWA you can download files in seconds without issue.
    I recently wanted to setup a VPN connection to the server so that I could remote manage the server if needed rather than have to go to the office all the time. I added the role on the server, forwarded port 1723 as needed whilst at the office. Then at home
    created a VPN connection on my Windows 7 PC. The VPN connects very quickly without issue but when trying to do anything the lag is very slow. On the laptop I used the cmd prompt so I could ping the server to see what was going on, i get a lot of time outs
    when doing anything, even when trying to just open a folder that is also shared by RWA and opens without issue.
    If i use Remote Desktop it just constantly times out and closes, so cant do anything.
    It appears this is just a VPN issue as RWA works perfectly. Any ideas as to what would cause this?

  • Slower internet connection when connection wireless network

    Currently using a Linksys WRT54GL wireless broadband (firmware v4.30.5) router in conjunction with a Thomson Speedtouch 546i ADSL router (ISP provided).
    My problem is that when I connect to the internet over the wireless network I experience a much slower internet connection in comparison with when I use a tp-cable.
    Tested with various online "speed-tests" (I know they are not to be trusted, but they do give a basis for comparison):
    Over wireless network : ca.6000kbits/sec.
    Direct cable from pc to router (tested on both routers):12-13000kbits/sec.
    Hope anyone has any idea what the problem may be, and any help is greatly appreciated.

    Change the beacon to 50 ....and reduce the RTS and the fragmentation by 40 each.....these options are found under the advanced wireless settings...
    Also make sure that u have the latest drivers installed for the Wireless NIC.

  • Prime 4.2 Telnet/ SSH Connections to Switches

    Hi everybody,
    I have a problem with LMS 4.2 and use Telnet/ SSH tool to open network devices.
    If I start the tool telnet/ssh, always starts a telnet session and no ssh session.
    But telnet is disabled on all devices in my network. Can I change something to open automatically a ssh session with putty?
    regards Bjoern

    Hi Bjoern,
    I am assuming you refer to the Device Center > Tools > Telnet/SSH option.
    The problem is not on LMS actually. What happens is that in the background, a telnet:// is being called.
    What will happen is that your system will launch whatever application has been assigned to the telnet protocol, typically the Windows CMD, which will open a telnet session automatically.
    In order to change this to use Putty for example, which would allow you to change to SSH connectivity (manually though) you can do the following:
    1) BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY.
    Go to Start > Run > Regedit > File > Export.
    2) Locate the following key:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > Telnet > shell > Open > command > (default)
    3) Modify the key value to point to the location of your "putty.exe" file (make sure to include the double quotes).
    Default value:
    "C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe" "C:\Windows\System32\url.dll",TelnetProtocolHandler %l
    New value (will open putty automatically to the selected IP):
    "D:\Tools\putty.exe" %l
    New value (will open putty normally, you will need to type the IP but can change the connection protocol/port if desired):
    "D:\Tools\putty.exe"
    This should make your system open Putty for any "telnet://" links, including the Telnet/SSH link in the Tools section of Device Center.
    Best regards,
    Luis

  • WiFi *really* slow to connect on wake

    I recently moved to a new neighborhood and now my wifi is really slow to connect when I open up my MacBook from sleep mode.
    My old place had other networks in the vicinity, but about half as many as there are available at my new place.
    Either way, its really becoming a pain, as I have become very used to opening my MacBook and being instantly online.
    I have power cycled my router and modem and done everything short of resetting the firmware.
    I am using a standard Linksys WRT-54G and it's served me fine for years, as has this MacBook.
    Any ideas on how to remedy this?

    How long is this "really slow"? Several minutes?
    You may want to look through System Preferences>Network and take a look at the "advanced" options for Airport. Might be worth clearing out all preferred networks and get those reset.

  • Slow Wireless Connection

    I am having problems with a very slow internet connection, that seems to be getting slower.
    Currently we have a DSL Modem connected to a LinkSys DSL Router connected to an Airport Extreme. We have been using this setup for several years.
    We run 2-4 laptops of various types...MacBook, MacBook Pro, and 1 Windows. Today, I can hardly get my MacBook to go anywhere.
    I went up to my iMac G5 and plugged in the ethernet directly to a port in the router and did a DSL speed test through my ISP and it came back as 4.4 Mbps, about the same as it has since I upgraded speeds last fall.
    I then disconnected the ethernet and switched back to wireless, and ran the same test. This time is came back 775 Kbps.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I am assuming that you are still having the issue with network performance, or at least it has not stabilized.
    I would still think Wi-Fi interference to be the potential issue and suggest that you pursue this a bit farther ... if you don't mind.
    Again, I would suggest downloading a copy of iStumbler. Use iStumbler's Inspector feature (select Edit > Inspector from iStumbler's menu) to determine the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at different points around your house, by performing a simple RF site survey. Within the Inspector, note the values for "signal" & "noise" at these locations. Start with your MacBook near the base station, note the readings, and then, choose the locations where you will typically use your MacBook to access the Internet.
    SNR is the signal level (in dBm) minus the noise level (in dBm). For example, a signal level of -53dBm measured near an access point and typical noise level of -90dBm yields a SNR of 37dB, a healthy value for wireless LANs.
    The SNR, as measured from the MacBook, should decrease as the range to the base station increases because of applicable free space loss. Also an increase in RF interference from microwave ovens and cordless phones, which increases the noise level, also decreases SNR.
    SNR Guideline
    o 40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
    o 25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
    o 15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
    o 10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
    o 5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
    If the SNR is 20dB+ at each of these locations, then you should be getting reasonable performance from your AirPort. If less, either try to locate the source of the Wi-Fi interference or try relocating either the base station or the wireless clients until they are within a 20dB SNR range.

  • Ipfilter reload rules - how it impac the current SSH connection?

    Hi,
    I login to another solaris 10 system thru SSH, and change the ipfilter rultes in /etc/ipf/ipf.conf, generally as follows;
    - flush all the existing rules (not the state table)
    - reload the rules from cfg file
    I've sometimes my SSH connection is not impacted, but sometimes it can hange for a while, and a couple CR hits could bring it back...
    Anybody can explain how this part of ipfilter works internally? I suppose if the state table is flushed out, the SSH connection would definitely be shut-down?
    Thanks

    Seems that the problem was because my J2E app was running in a tomcat servlet container as a service. The service user account was set to the local service account. Plink was looking for its public key in CURRENT_USER (i.e. local service user) and not finding it.
    I've added the required registry settings to the default user in the registry and these get picked up by the local system user.
    Hey presto - plink can connect!

  • SSH connections not logged on wtmpx

    Hello,
    which patch enables ssh to log connections to wtmpx?
    Actually the "last" command only shows login data about assigned pts, but if i
    connect using:
    ssh -T root@sunbox
    no record is logged on wtmpx. Also the "w" and "last" command doesn't show
    the user root as logged in, while... it is.
    I checked on solaris 10 and this issue is fixed, as ssh connections are logged
    apart from the terminal allocation.
    Someone know wich patch is needed on solaris 9 to solve this problem?
    Thank you in advance
