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.
I'd like to understand this a bit more before I bite. Please describe "impossibly slow". What application are you running that demonstrates the slowness? Can you quantify a bit more? What hardware is between the actual cable and your computer? Software-wise I created an /etc/resolv.conf file with three lines and that was it and mozilla is fast enough.
