I couldn't find an answer to this by research. If you have a recommended research resource, I'd appreciate learing it. I have SuSE 9.1, lots of memory, running on a dual boot Pentium attached via a Linksys router to the cable modem. The IP settings are fixed: IP is an internal address 4.18.22.130 default gateway 4.18.22.142 the Linksys subnet mask 255.255.255.192 primary & alternate DNS provided by ISP If I boot in XP which I no longer use, IE browses virtually immediately with the same fixed settings. If booting under SuSE, all browsers are painfully slow, typically > 30 secs I also have XP loaded under vmware (why the dual boot is not needed). IE under vmware loads a typical page in about 10 secs. Same fixed IP settings except the assigned IP is .136. I'm obviously missing something but can't determine what. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, jcp
Are these the settings for the WAN interface or the LAN interface? Generally the LAN interface on a linksys router is set to 192.168.1.1 which would mean you will need to set the PC's to 192.168.1.X/255.255.255.0 with the default route set to 192.168.1.1. The WAN interface would be the address/subnet assigned by your ISP. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
