Hello, I'm using 9.1 professional with KDE. My computer is linked to a high-speed cable modem via a router. The Firefox browser is very slow in resolving sites. When I click on a link, it usually takes 30 seconds to a minute for Firefox to resolve the site and start loading the page. (The page loading is normally very fast once the site address is resolved.) We have another computer running Win 2K, and Firefox on that computer resolves site addresses very fast (within a second or two). I tried using Konqueror on the Linux box, thinking that the problem was related to Firefox. But Konqueror is just as slot at resolving sites. So I figured that this must be a network configuration problem. I tried plugging my Linux computer directly into the cable modem (bypassing the router), but there was no improvement. I went into YaST and deleted the network card configuration and then re-added it. Still no change. I added the following lines to the Firefox script, but again there was no improvement. MOZILLA_NO_ASYNC_DNS=True export MOZILLA_NO_ASYNC_DNS Finally, the top command doesn't show any processes hogging the CPU. System specs: 2 Ghz processor, 1 GB of RAM. Has anyone experienced this problem or have any ideas how to solve it? Thanks very much for your help. Dom
