One of the things that happens when the session is activated is the server ends up doing a call to `InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()` (for reasons that don’t make any sense; this call should be removed).

We’ve seen [DNS lookups take a long time on Linux in the past](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/starting-ignition-gateway-takes-almost-10-minutes-when-not-connected-to-internet/17588/8). The behavior you’re seeing makes it seem like the lookup succeeds quickly when you’re assigned to the off-subnet test IP, but takes a long time with the correct IP.

Try adding your IP address and hostname to `/etc/hosts` and see if it works.
