Internet suddenly slow in SUSE
Mid way through the day today, I noticed that my internet is running terribly slow. I have a 2Mb DSL connection which is normally fast enough. If I boot into windows everything is snappy as can be. In linux, whether Konqueror or Firefox everything is 56k slow. The only changes that I can think of that I made to my systems was apt updating last night. The two machines running SUSE (both apt updated) are running really slow. My roommates' computers, 1 running Knoppix, the other running WinXP, are both running fine. Any thoughts? Steve

Steve FWIW: this thread, or some variant, has been making the scene on this list for a long time. Yours works, at least... mine dumped completely, yet no config files changed (I compared them). Not sure what is causing this but my 1st choice is the kernel since that is all it took on my box in the past. This time around I updated everything that was installed, hoping that would make a difference. It did not. -- ..."Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio "If music be the food of love, why can't rabbits sing?"

Figure out what packages were updated (/var/log/apt.log), and see if reversing the update solves the problem. Cheers, Leen

Is there any automated rollback procedure? I updated 257 packages :-o and scrolling through the list, nothing stands out as being a problem maker. Another odd point to my symptoms, is that I can download large files at full speed. It only seems like web pages are effected. Even locally served pages being called via direct IP (no DNS translation necessary) are effected. But it doesn't matter what port because web servers running on non port 80 are effected also. It seems like connection attempts are really slow, but the connections themselves, once made, are full speed..... so strange.

have you tried changing the /etc/modprobe.conf from: alias net-pf-10 ipv6 to alias net-pf-10 ipv6 install ipv6 /bin/true -- Lee McIntosh

Alas, no.

The entries are dated, so if you know a date at which the internet was well, you know what updated packages to revert.
