I've had similar issues ages ago. I *think* that IPV6 was enabled by default and was the cause for the horrible slowness. Don't ask me where to disable IPV6, but i'm sure you'll figure that one out by yourself. (IIRC it is hidden somewhere in /etc/sysconfig.) After disabling it, everything went as smooth as it should.

Okay, I've had problems with my internet connection on this machine since I got it around SuSE 9.2. Last year, I upgraded my speed to the fastest offered by AT&T. Same problem.
The problem is this: once a download starts (whether a large file or just a web page and its images), it uses my full speed without any problems, but it takes so long for the download to start, I may as well be on dialup. Web pages will eventually load up but the process is so slow that some images won't load. I reload and some of those images may load and others will not. It happens in Konqueror and it happens in Firefox. Firefox may show a little less of the problem or it may be my imagination.
Email may be affected the same way or it may not - I don't usually notice as much of a wait time after I hit the button to check it.
I've also noticed it a bit on online games. Yast software updating is slow as hell, but I've heard that it would be anyway.
I've changed my modem and router, I've used different cables - both rj11 and rj45 (or whatever the number is) - I've even changed network cards. I've messed with settings on my router. Nothing. My laptop with another distro on it works fine - prompting me to believe that there's been something wrong with both modem/routers I've had, as my laptop, of course, uses wifi.
Okay, so I've dealt with it. And then...
I recently installed Windows XP on a small partition in order to use Flash CS3. Guess what? The internet connection runs as snappy as I could hope for.
What's going on here? Surely there must be some network setting that hasn't been changed since I was using dialup. Or maybe something like that? I've tried a few things in the network setup in yast to no avail. A search of the internet gives me no clues. Maybe the problem is between the keyboard and the chair? Help me, please!
By the way, I'm still on 10.3, if that makes a difference. However, as I've had the same problem in 9.2 and 10.1, I don't see how it would. And I keep current with updates. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
