Usually delay on connect/login is caused by not having working DNS/hosts
file to resolve the incoming IP. If DNS is working fine, it tends to be
able to quickly determine if it can or can not resolve the name of the
IP connecting. If DNS is not working, you will get a long delay while
it waits for name lookup timeout.
