the problem is ipv6

Your computer tries to use ipv6 before it uses IPv4, so is first times-out the ipv6 tcp/ip request.

The solution;
1. get an ipv6 connection to the internet
2. or turn-off all ipv6 support.
3. Remove ipv6 modules from the tcp/ip stack rmmod ipv6 modules
4. Look and search in navigation bar by typing the url about:config and/or edit the user.js/default.js
5. Search on www gigablast com query=ipv6 firedox mozilla

OpenBSD

I'm on my Debian computer right now. It's a fresh install and everything is working great, internet browsing is perfect and ping works great. As soon as I restart though..... things are going to be back to the way they were. I will have that skippy slow internet browsing. this is what my ifconfig looks like at the moment

and my dns server is 192.168.0.1 so that rules out resolv.conf right?

modifying about:config
1. write 'about:config' into a mozilla firefox window
2. right-click on the line starting with 'network.dns.disableIPv6' and modify it to 'true'

-I typed about:config in Mozilla and changed the network.dns.disableIPv6 value to true
-I modified alias net-pf-10 ipv6 to read net-pf-10 off in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
-I created the value alias ipv6 off in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
-I modified #alias net-pf-10 off to read alias net-pf-10 off in /etc/modules.conf
-I modified #alias net-pf-10 off to alias net-pf-10 off in /etc/modutils/aliases
-I typed su and typed update-modules

I restarted after doing the above. Nothing has changed, I'm still getting the terrible computer + tele-lag when I'm running an application that uses the Internet

Can you list the loaded modules with lsmod

Here are some tips about ipv6 www ubuntuforums org/showthread.php?t=3713&page=2

What nic (network interface card) do you have and which kernel-modules are loaded ??
Is there something connected to your usb-ports ??
Which version OS was running before Sarge ??

I tried that link and it said to edit #alias net-pf-10 off to alias net-pf-10 off in /etc/modutils/aliases
then I did su and typed update-modules

I still have the terrible computer + tele-lag

lsmod

Windows XP - but I did a complete reformat of the harddrive when I was installing Debian 3.1 Sarge

I haven't installed a driver manually, the Debian Install 3.1 Sarge didn't prompt me and downloaded the apt-get packages itself. The driver in Kernel 2.2.x was "rtl18139" The driver in Kernel 2.4.x was "8139too". Since I'm on Kernel 2.6.x and the driver is "8139too" - would that be a problem maybe?

EDIT
If you google: "8129too" there are a lot of interesting results with people having issues with the driver.

EDIT-2
Problem fixed! I had to disable ACPI in the Grub Bootloader.
