Guest pinecone Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 I dont know what happened. I am using Mandrake 9 and i just installed it days ago. It was running pretty good. Now, today all of a sudden it is really slow. Does anyone know what a probable cause of this is? also, i stopped using DHCP and havent been able to get DNS outside my router since then, so i am in windows right now. I dont know if the network would have done anything with slowing it down, but it occured at about the same time. actually, it the network was working fine when i first turned off dhcp, but after i restarted it didnt work and that is also when it started going really slow.

I used to have issues w/my system being slow and I couldn't get and IP address through DHCP-how did you configure your networking when you turned off the DHCP?

Guest pinecone Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 when i turned off dhcp i just gave my computer an ip address and the address of the gateway and DNS server. It worked until I rebooted, then it stopped working. I could still ping ips in my network, but thats it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pinecone Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 ok, it works fine now. im not sure what i did but i restarted it this morning and it works good again. Are there any settings that would have not taken effect until i restarted? oh well, it works and im happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
