Probems connecting to Google with Mozilla 1.6 on 9.0

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed delays while trying to connect to Google's homepage while using Mozilla 1.6 or Firefox 0.8. Seems that everytime I try to connect, my Mozilla status bar sits at "Resolving host www.google.com..." for up to 30 seconds before connecting. I would think that I was having a DNS issue, but if I dig for www.google.com, I get a response is 6 msec. I also don't have any speed issuses if I try to connect using Konqueror or Mozilla 1.6 on a XP machine I have. Also, my problem exists on both my home machine, which connects through a dsl line, and my work machine which connects through a full T-1. Thanks in advance for any insight. K

New subject: Highpoint HPT374 driver compile for SuSE 9.0

I need some guidance on compiling a new IDE driver - I've never done this before. I have searched and found a number of threads that refer to the error message below, but none mention the HPT374 driver and SuSE 9.0. I have an Epox 4PCA3+ mb (Pentium 4 2.4mhz) with a Highpoint 374 RAID controller I was hoping to use to put together a RAID file server with 4 120MB Western Digital drives. Highpoint's latest drivers only support SuSE 8.2. Their tech support says to use the open source drivers on their site at: http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/b374.htm . I have downloaded the latest version (2.1) and followed their instructions. I used another PC (dual P3s) and SCSI with SuSE 9.0 installed to: 1) Install Kernel sources rpm. 2) From /usr/src/linux issued: make cloneconfig make dep (I did not do any of the remaining steps as I do not wish to really install this new kernel, just build the hpt374 driver). 3) Created a directory for the htp374 source. 4) Modified a flag in the Makefile to build parallel ATA support instead of SATA; 5) Issued the "make", which does build a new hpt374.o driver. 6) I then begin the SuSE 9.0 install on the target machine. When I get to the Language selection, pressing Alt-F2 gives me a console. 7) I copy the new driver to /tmp as the instructions suggest. 8) I then issue "insmod hpt374.o". I get the following error messages: hpt374.o: unresolved symbol free_irq_Rsmp_f20dabd8 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol pcibios_write_config_word_Rsmp_4f1c2e33 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol pci_find_device_Rsmp_156c858f hpt374.o: unresolved symbol __global_restore_flags_Rsmp_54dd1dcb hpt374.o: unresolved symbol __out_of_line_bug_Rsmp_8b0fd3c5 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol pcibios_read_config_dword_Rsmp_38ae6689 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol __generic_copy_to_user_Rsmp_d523fdd3 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol daemonize_Rsmp_d66a354a hpt374.o: unresolved symbol pcibios_write_config_dword_Rsmp_81b4f465 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol pcibios_read_config_byte_Rsmp_d80115e1 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol pcibios_write_config_byte_Rsmp_719856ee hpt374.o: unresolved symbol pcibios_present_Rsmp_520a75b9 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol __global_cli_Rsmp_64576b05 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol sprintf_Rsmp_1d26aa98 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol scsi_unregister_module_Rsmp_81d85a75 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol __HZ_Rsmp_799069f6 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol printk_Rsmp_1b7d4074 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol kfree_Rsmp_037a0cba hpt374.o: unresolved symbol io_request_lock_Rsmp_08c39da6 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol scsi_unregister_Rsmp_305c9db8 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol __global_save_flags_Rsmp_5d902e96 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol vsprintf_Rsmp_954cbb26 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol scsi_register_Rsmp_03f5277e hpt374.o: unresolved symbol kmalloc_Rsmp_93d4cfe6 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol pcibios_read_config_word_Rsmp_aa9effd7 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol do_schedule_Rsmp_26171012 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol __const_udelay_Rsmp_eae3dfd6 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol __udelay_Rsmp_9e7d6bd0 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol scsi_register_module_Rsmp_fa20b7b0 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol __generic_copy_from_user_Rsmp_116166aa hpt374.o: unresolved symbol jiffies_Rsmp_0da02d67 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol unregister_reboot_notifier_Rsmp_3980aac1 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol request_irq_Rsmp_0c60f2e0 hpt374.o: unresolved symbol kernel_flag_cacheline_Rsmp_7956468f hpt374.o: unresolved symbol kernel_thread_Rsmp_7ca341af hpt374.o: unresolved symbol register_reboot_notifier_Rsmp_1cc6719a hpt374.o: Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license and it has unresolved symbols.

Anyone know what these errors are? I have reposted with make messages also below, in case I am not building correctly.

Thanks for the idea, but it doesn't seeem to help. It still takes around 30 seconds for google.com to show up. Now on the other hand, if I wanted to punish myself and connect to msn.com, well then it would only take me a few seconds for the suffering to begin. :-) K

google is special as it checking to figure up whhich geographical location your ip belongs to and then it will redirect to that server.

I would except that answer, except for the fact that Konqueror on the same machine has no delay connecting to google. Neither does my XP box running the same version of Mozilla.

I remember some threads when 9.0 about this, and the workaround was to disable ipv6 in /etc/modules.conf. Just look for ipv6, comment out the line for that module, add the same line replacing off for ipv6. IIRC, you have to reboot for this change to take effect. Disclaimer- This is from my memory, with which memtest86 will not work. I am using 8.2 so am not affected. Also, this was a workaround, I don't know if the actual problem has been fixed. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

Nisi defectum, haud refiecendum I added the two statements at the beginning of the script --just below the 'debugging' command which is commented out-- and it seems to make little or no difference for some reason. Any other ideas?

I also don't have any speed issuses if I try to connect using Konqueror or Mozilla 1.6 on a XP machine I have. Also, my problem exists on both my home machine, which connects through a dsl line, and my work machine which connects through a full T-1.

It works fine here. I'm on a cable modem.
