I have a very simple network and don't understand why I'm having this much trouble. (Am somewhat afraid to wait for an answer/opinion on that matter.
It is probably something basic (like a period present and shouldn't, or vice-versa.)
Thanks Joe, (btw, are you at New Tribes in Waukesha?)
Negative (but my daughter is now). I am in Greendale, for the next year or so. Are you local (I noticed the execpc address)?
I took another's advice and used webmin. That quickly got me a working DNS. I'm not sure how as it has very slim files compared to any examples I've seen. It also resolves machine names without having aliase (CNAME) entries. Getting DNS running has NOT fixed my net slowness problem as I had hoped it would. Carlos is probably right about some update doing it, but I saw tons of DHCP related slowness problems on Google and only a few answers, all of them said "get DNS running." *sigh* Thanks for your help. And yes, I am in Waukesha. -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Try to disable ipv6 in your firewall, or maybe AFTER you are connected, do a SuSEfirewall2 stop and check if it is firewall related. My 9.1 slowed down after a firewall update, but disabling ipv6 in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 fixed it for me. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
