Major Internet Lag
 

:newbie:

I installed Redhat 7.0 on my system about 12 times now, and everytime. I keep getting a hangup on my internet connection. When I make any attempt to use Netscape on the system, the websites only download partway and stall.

When I do the whole,

echo 1 > proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
ipchains -M forward -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQ
ipchains -s -blah blah blah blah blah ..

and got the internet working on my windows boxs; the net works fine, but into 15 to 20 minutes of my login session, the net connection dies. I go back to the linux box and can see the IP address is coming in from my ISP.. But there's no other information being downloaded. At that point I would need to reboot the system, and mess with the settings all over again before the net works.. I called my ISP and they see no problems with my connection. So, is there some sort of memory settings or bios configurations I need to make. Me brains are racked.

:eek:

I was looking around the net about my network problem and I came across a whole wack of stuff; which didn't make sence to me, but sounded simular to my situation..

I'm running Redhat 7.0 .. What exactly is the problem that everyone is flaming about on the net in reguards to the networking aspect of this OS
