Is it one minute or is it 90 seconds? DNS timeout is 90 seconds, Make
sure you have IP -> Name and Name -> IP setup in your DNS server for ALL
you dialup account. (ie, can you nslookup the IP address for a dialup
connection and get a name? Can you then nslookup the name and get the
SAME IP address?)
