[SLE] Packet logging software? and Netscape takes a long time to start...
I have my Netscape set to start from http://localhost, which in turn goes to my Apache httpd/htdocs/index.html webpage, however when I call up Netscape is takes about 45 seconds to bring up the webpage. Now that I have wvdial.dod installed, it still takes 45 seconds *and* wvdial connects to my webserver, even though it shouldn't be even connecting to the internet at this point. I have my Primary and Secondary DNS servers set to my ISP DNS machines. What is the solution for this? I have an idea that it might be my DNS settings, but I'd like confirmation before I go mucking with my machines. If I have to change either Primary or Secondary DNS, what should my preferred settings be for a standard dial-up machine. Also, I have SuSE 6.4 and wvdial.dod is not shutting down my PPP connection after a timeout of 180 seconds. Someone had previously mentioned to me that I should log the packets being sent and received during those 180 seconds to determine what process was running. What software on the SuSE CDs should I run to do this logging? I installed Firewal from the /sec section of YAST, but the only logging I have in /var/log/firewall so far is the PPP connection going up and down. I have enabled *_all logging from within rc.config.

You said it. Some program is trying to get your domainname from you IP-number and needs DNS.

- Don't use DNS (silly solution...) - Use a caching DNS server... see the FAQs BTW, you have packet-logging programs. Use tcpdump or the kernel packet-logging.
