That sounds like a name resolution issue, are you using a dns ? if there are entries like 'nameserver' in /etc/resolv.conf then you are, and most likely you cant reach it (server maybe down, etc ...). A simple test would be to comment out all entries in /etc/resolv.conf and try rsh'ing agen

Hi,

I am not using any name resolution or dns. /etc/resolv.conf is blank only.

I get the rsh connection, but it takes time for connection. Please suggest something.

Thanks & Regards,

Check the netmask of both ends of the connection.

Also there are sometimes problems with autonegotiation. When a switch is set not to autonegotiate a solaris box will sometimes have issues and not behave as expected. You could try forcing the interfaces to the correct speen and duplex settings using ndd.
