Have you tried disabling ipv6 (toward the bottom of /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2). This speeded up my computer after my jump from 8.2 to 9.1.
I don't see any ipv6 packet on ethereal capture, but anyway, the firewall seems correct related to that: # Disallowing IPv6 packets may lead to long timeouts when connecting to IPv6 # Adresses. See FW_IPv6_REJECT_OUTGOING to avoid this. # FW_IPv6="" # Set to yes to avoid timeouts because of dropped IPv6 Packets. This Option # does only make sense with FW_IPv6 != no # FW_IPv6_REJECT_OUTGOING="yes" And the log shows "SFW2-OUT-IPv6_PROHIB" messages related to eth0 when booting up only, nothing related to /dev/ppp0 Perhaps I should dissable ipv6 completely on the kernel. How, I wonder :-? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
