slow local http access

23 Nov 2004

      My local http access is *very* slow when I'm not connected to the internet. 
Once connected to the internet it's fine.
If I connect to music.desktop.home while not connected to the internet it 
takes about 1-2 minutes to display the opening page.
If I connect to music.desktop.home while connected to the internet it takes 
about 1-2 seconds to display the opening page.

Any advice warmly received.

Here is my configuration:
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1		localhost
192.168.1.4	desktop desktop.home
192.168.1.13	music.desktop.home

my network card is set up as (from ifconfig)

My http.conf is standard as shipped with suse v9.0 (apache2)

listen.conf is set as
NameVirtualHost *

In vhosts.d I have one file called music.conf and it's contents are:-

    ServerAdmin root@desktop.home
    ServerName music.desktop.home
    AcceptPathInfo On

    # DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your

    # symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
    DocumentRoot /home/pburness/public_html/prirad/html

    # if not specified, the global error log is used
    ErrorLog /dev/null
    #CustomLog /vdev/null
