Not sure if this is the same but here is my post to this list of 3 weeks ago I have just upgraded suse8.1 to 8.2. One effect was to give me very slow browsing, looking like slow dns lookup. That is downloads were full speed (60k ish) once they were started, but changing to a new page could give a 20sec pause. After some googling I found I needed to "turn off ip6" by changing which of these lines was commented in etc/modules.conf #alias net-pf-10 ipv6 alias net-pf-10 off This worked and I am now back to normal. Can anyone tell me what this line does, and exactly what I have turned off? (or which manual I should read) Thanks David On Friday 26 September 2003 2:58 pm, wgerrard wrote:
Anyone know why name resolution using my cable provider's nameservers is impossibly slow on a standard untweaked 8.2 install, but quite fast with WinXP on the same machine, same provider, same nameservers?
I see the same slowness whether or not my firewall is running, and whether or not I'm running a local cacheing nameserver.
Thanks.
