I suspected that as well,
emacs is trying to access port 53, which is the DNS server.
Christian,
Is the "lo" interface on 127.0.0.1 up?
This is the loop-back interface which allows your
machine to talk to itself. It should always be up,
otherwise problems can occur.
What is the contents of /etc/hostname and /etc/resolv.conf ?
HTH,
Colin S. Miller
