Slow internet connection iptraf shows a lot of UDP port 53 (Domain) traffic
 

Well,

My internet connection is very slow. Surfing takes a lot of time before sites show up. In w3m I see "opening socket" for a long time but when it finds the site it's there immediately. I also have a Windows PC here and it works just fine.

My setup is as follows.

192.168.2.x connects to my router. and I have another network behind 192.16.2.x which is 192.168.1.x that is connected to all my Linux machines. If I try to connect my linux machines to the network that connects immediately to my Router (internet) it makes totally no difference.

iptraf shows a lot of UDP-traffic again and again port 53, once it stops showing those 53-lines it starts to transfer at higher rates and the site is loaded at normal speeds. My max download/upload is something about 500KB/s Down and 60KB/s up, this should be more than fast enough for w3m internet surfing isn't it?

Someone familiar with this problem?

Thanks

Wannes

You may need to disable IPv6. Try to search in google how to do this for your linux.

Hi

Thanks for your swift respones. But the problem stays the same.

I added a file

/etc/modprobe.d/00local

and added following lines:

I can still see a lot of DNS-requests. they come from all kinds of ports on my box and all direct to port 53 on my router.

Small edit:

How can I check if ipv6 is really disabled this time?

edit again:

with

and it should NOT be listed?

Do please, and post output for: ifconfig -a
