all the machines are hooked into a wired and wireless adsl router (debian
and xp box wired, laptop wireless). ping times even from the laptop on
wireless connection is <10ms
if i connect locally on the debian machine to itself the response is
instantaneous. very odd. I also disabled zone alarm on the client machine,
that made no difference.
