Look at yours tcsh version var, is there any rh option? rh option
indicates that tcsh is trying to set REMOTEHOST variable, and so, it's
trying to use DNS. Probably your connection to some in-addr.arpa servers
aren't so good. It's possible to turn off rh option during compile time.
Se tcsh source documentation to know how to do that.
