sampsaltakis Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 I've downloaded / burned / installed MDK 10 C. I've noticed that everything is working great (and faster), but when I go out to the internet, I've noticed a drastic lag in querying web sites, and mozilla seems to take alot longer in rendering every page. I went out and downloaded FireFox, installed it, and seems to be a little better, but I still notice the difference. Anyone else see this or am I just going Loco!! -SP Edit: moved from Tips & Tricks by spinynorman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonChild Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 I've had the same problem myself. What I noticed is that there is no obvious DNS cache app in MDK10, which begs for the question: shouldn't there be a DNS cache somewhere to speed up the DNS searches? I did notice that mozilla/firebird/etc always try to resolve the server, even when I browse pages on the same server. Something wrong?

CycoDreamer Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 I have that same problem with 10 I read somewhere that it has something to do with the default use of IP v6 packets by kernel 2.6.x With this it tries to connect with these type of packets, but a lot of proxy/dns/firewalls of the worldwide ISP's aswell as alot of personal firewalls block these new types. Then after 20 seconds of timeout MDK10 switches to the old IP v4...and then it connects... So what you notice is correct....It takes ages to connect... even though pinging is fine I'm still figuring out a way to switch of the default setting in the kernel....But haven't found one yet sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkrekula Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 There is a way of switching this behaviour off, but I can't remember where I've seen it... If I remember correctly, there was a line to add to /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf /Kenneth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CycoDreamer Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 "to disable ipv6 you just add the following line to either /etc/modules.conf for 2.4 kernel or /etc/modprobe.conf for 2.6 kernel. alias net-pf-10 off " hmmmz.... It's still kinda slow... :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ozar Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I'm having the same problem with MD10, but it's intermittent. Sometimes right after a fresh boot, the internet is really fast, but after the next boot, it seems like it takes up to about 30 seconds for DNS to be resolved. No problems with any of the previous versions of Mandrake, but I have had the same problem with the last two versions of Slackware. Go figure...??? Now, I'm trying to boot into MD using the 2.4.x kernel to see if the problem remains, but since it's intermittent, it's difficult to know for sure.

Guest emerym Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Hi All, I too run MDK 10.0. The slowness was driving me up the wall. jjava script:emoticon('') I made the changes to /etc/modprobe.conf, having not spotted the move away from modules.conf before. Thanks all!. It still ran slow. I'd tried to install a local bind and got a waring that it conflicted with tmdns. So I took it out with 'rpm -e tmdns-0.1-12mdk' and it's working a LOT FASTER. . java script:emoticon(':D') Group : System/Servers Source RPM: tmdns-0.1-12mdk.src.rpm Size : 126894 License: GPL Packager : Gwenole Beauchesne <gbeauchesne@mandrakesoft.com> URL : http://zeroconf.sourceforge.net/ Summary : A Multicast DNS Responder for Linux Description : Tmdns is tiny/trivial Multicast DNS Responder for Linux.

Guest aunger1001 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 emerym...you were right in either removing tmdns or disableing zeroconf. This is the reason for the slow dns query. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steve02a Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I don't mean to disrupt this thread - but how did you guys get DNS working in the first place? I have a DNS server listed in my /etc/resolv.conf file - but anytime I try to suft to a site, I get can't resolve hostname or server times out. any idea's on that one?

Guest aunger1001 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 how do you connect to the internet? If you use DSL or cable and it is directly attached to you pc, then you would most likley use dhcp to connect and the DNS is automatically setup. If you are static, then your provider should provide DNS servers. As a side note, this goes for dialup also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ozar Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 Finally fixed mine by simply installing a new network card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
