Maybe not the same problem you're seeing, but COMCAST's DNS server seems 
to be really slow.  Like, by the time their server responds back to my 
machine, often it's already timed out and into its second try.  (I glean 
this by watching the net traffic through my firewall.)

And, now, as of last weekend actually, COMCAST has no reverse DNS lookup 
for my machine.  So ftp.cc.gatech.edu won't let me in.  Grrr.
