I am using dhcp and when I use firefox to go to websites it takes for ever to do dns lookups. The browser just sort of sits then finally resolves the names. When I do a nslookup or a dig from the cli everything comes resolves very quickly. I have set it to static ip address and also static dns and the browser still takes for ever to resolv for some reason. I had a intel desktop 1000MT nic card I swapped that for a 3com nic and still the same issues. So I then installed a dns server locally on the box and change the resolv.conf to point to 127.0.0.1 there was no difference.
Any ideas?

Hi, it has something to do with the UPv6 name resolving. There is an article in SuSE knowledge base how to disable IPv6, if you do not use it. It helped me and now I do not have these delays.
Cheers Sunny
I think ipv6 is disabled by default in 9.2, isn't it? I know I had this problem with 9.1 (and had to edit /etc/modprobe.conf) but not in 9.2 Is /etc/resolv.conf being changed back dynamically?

I can't remember, but in that article 9.2 was mentioned as well. One way or another, the OP didn't say what version he uses. But as I see, he has solved the problem so far, so it doesn't matter. Cheers Sunny -- Get Firefox http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=10745&t=85
