[NTLUG:Discuss] Slow connection to pop3

The windows box uses dhcp to get an internal network
address (192.168.1.x), so I really can't add it to
the hosts file.

In /etc/xinetd.conf, here is what I have:
#
# Simple configuration file for xinetd
#
# Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/

defaults
{
        instances = 60
        cps = 25 30
        log_type = SYSLOG auth
        log_on_success = PID HOST
        log_on_failure = HOST
}

includedir /etc/xinetd.d

Here is what I have in /etc/xinetd.d/ipop3:
# default: off
# description: The POP3 service allows remote users to access their mail \
#              using an POP3 client such as Netscape Communicator, mutt, \
#              or fetchmail.
service pop3
{
        log_on_success += HOST 
        log_on_failure += HOST
        socket_type = stream
        user = root
        server = /usr/sbin/ipop3d
        wait = no
}

Any ideas?

Thanks,
	Neil.
