DNS. Or rather reverse lookup. Add a local (within LAN) DNS server with forward and reverse entries for your local machines and make sure this server is queried first. Your problem of "late prompt" will disappear.

Alternatively uou can add the entry in the local machines host file. Also add an entry for your machine on the remote host
Hi Chirag,
Could you help me.... what entry do I need to add in my HOST file on Win2k PC as the client from where I SSH.
Assuming the following: Client: Win2K with Putty. IP: 192.168.0.100 PC Name: Vai Server: Linux 19: 192.168.0.1 hostname: foo.mydom.com
Thx in advance. regards, Vai
