BaNaNe Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Hi, I've just installed Mandrake 10 OE. Everything is all right! But i noticed that surfing is very slow! When i'm downloading something, that goes at high speed but web sites come very slowly! How does it come? I've a PCI network card that runs with 8139too module and i go on the internet trought an ADSL router. And somewhere is Mandrake control center, it says that internet connection is LAN and status is DISCONNECTED but my network is up!!! And in gentoo, surfing is normal... What can i do to speed up surfing? Thanks! [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technonoid Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Have you checked your DNS search order ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaNaNe Posted May 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I had a look in /etc/resolv.conf and there was my router IP and then the primary and secondary ip... I dun't know if it is just or not... What exactly should I write? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziast Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I don't remember where I saw this but it helped me. In your /etc/modules.conf file add the line: alias net-pf-10 off This basically turns off IPv6, from what I understand and it helped my name resolution speed. Hope this helps :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaNaNe Posted May 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Hi I've tried... Here is my modules.conf : probeall usb-interface usb-uhci ehci-hcd alias sound-slot-1 snd-via82xx above snd-via82xx snd-pcm-oss alias eth0 8139too alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx alias net-pf-10 off But it doesn't changed anything...

Technonoid Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 What about modprobe.conf, add the lines alias net-pf-10 off and alias ipv6 off At least, this will increase browsing speed by decreasing DNS lookup time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 OE uses a 2.6 kernel. Put that line in /etc/modprobe.conf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ozar Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 (edited) I was having the exact same problem. Inserting the above-mentioned code into modprobe.conf didn't help at all but a new networking card fixed the problem. What's weird is that the old card worked fine in Windows and Mandrake 9.2, but not in MD10. Edited May 30, 2004 by Ozar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
