Any ideas?
Hi Elijah, Here's what I'd do if I were "in the driver's seat": YaST -> Network Devices -> Network Cards under "Network cards configuration"... -> click 'Change' under 'Already configured devices' -> your nic should already be highlighted; click 'Edit' -> verify the Automatic address setup (via DHCP) checkbox is selected -> click 'Host name and name server setting' then 'Accept' (not 'Modify') -> verify and jot down the existing entries for Name Server 1 & 2 (3?) + Domain Search 1 & 2 (3?) I like to have these for later reference. -> verify the 'Update name servers and search list via DHCP checkbox is selected -> click 'Back' then 'Routing'; verify your default gateway is entered here. (the one in my router is 192.168.1.1) -> uncheck the 'Enable IP Forwarding' checkbox if it has been accidentally selected previously -> click 'Back' then 'Advanced' and 'DHCP Client Options' -> leave DHCP Client Identifier blank; verify 'Host Name to Send' is set to "AUTO" -> click 'Next' to have YaST complete this configuration -> in Firefox, select 'Edit' and 'Preferences' -> select 'General' in the left panel, then 'Connection Settings' on the right -> verify these settings are appropriate for your environment (select 'Direct connection...' unless you're using a proxy) -> you should see 'localhost, 127.0.0.1' in the 'No Proxy for:' field -> click 'OK' -> enter 'about:config' in the main address bar. -> scroll down until you see this entry: user_pref("network.dns.disableIPv6", false); -> right-click on it and toggle it to "true" -> close and restart Firefox. -> go for a test drive and I hope you have improved results In my opinion, all things being equal, Firefox /does/ seem a smidgen slower on this machine than I expected it to be. But it's performance isn't /bad/ either -- just possibly a little disappointing after all the hype? good luck & regards! - Carl -- _______________________________________________________________________ C.
