Hi, I made today a fresh installation of OpenSuse 11.0. Things are working well except the speed of my Internet connection. My Desktop PC is connected to a hardware Router. The IP-Addresses are assigned through DHCPD. I have a 16 Mbit ADSL connection. When I try to load a website, it takes probably 10-15 seconds till Firefox or Opera shows a reaction and is very slowly loading the page. On my Laptop is also a OpenSuse 11.0 installation, here is the Internet connection working well and fast. As you can see, it is not a problem from the router. What I tried till now is to set the Kernel Module eepro 100 on the blacklist. The result is the same. I made this, because I saw that two modules are loaded for the NIC. The network Card is a Intel EtherExpress Pro/100. Below you can see the output from the yast Hardware information.

Because in this status, my Internet connection is not very usable and acceptable. Thank you in advance for your help.
