ssh password delay -- SOLVED

[darren]

Thanks to all.

I seemed to have resolved the problem by setting my /etc/host.conf file
to look like:

order hosts,bind
multi on

And, of course, I have the correct IP's were in the /etc/hosts file.  My
laptop gets two different IPs depending on whether I go through the
wireless or not.

My host.conf already looked like the one below, but it wasn't working.

Thanks again.  I am so glad to get this problem resolved.
