Thread: psql slow connection

psql slow connection

I use a win32 psql to connect to a linux box. It will take about 20 seconds
to connect to postgres server while linux and my PC are in a LAN. My linux
runs dhcpd, smb, and internet sharing, do they matter?

A first guess is that there's something broken about your DNS setup,
and that you're suffering a DNS lookup timeout before anything actually
happens.
