Additional point:
When I first set up to connect to SBC/Yahoo DSL, everything seemed fine and the web surfed at warp speed. Then suddenly one day things wound up like this.
I do not allow automatic YOU updating, and performed no manual update.
So I am deeply suspicious that SBC did something to their network, that now makes it not play well with Linux.
What is different about the way Windows vs. Linux hosts perform DNS lookups?
Interesting thought. We use SBC/Yahoo DSL here too. They were somewhat uncooperative during our initial install when I told them we were using linux. I ran a test with one of our Windows systems (one admin insists on using Windows). I tested them both at:http://performance.toast.net/ The Linux system was almost 3 times faster. Of course it may be a bit biased because the Windows system may be infested with all kinds of malware. Nonetheless, it doesn't seem like an SBC issue. Regis Matejcik
