i've managed to get connected to the net using my speedtouch adsl modem in mandy 10.1, one bit of a problem though..........
whereas say a host resolves in a few seconds when browsing the net on windows, in any of the browsers in mandy 10.1 the host takes say at least 30 seconds to resolve and display the page, a bit slow!
i've used the method of configuring the given below...
maybe the following two snippits I've saved and use will help:
slow site loading in mozilla
( post #9)
I have had a similar problem with mozilla 1.7 (and 1.6) under MDK10. While I am totally out of my depth here, apparently it can be caused by ipv6. Some posts talk about changing some conf files, but you can check, and in my case, fix, the problem by navigating to about:config (enter this in the address bar) and scrolling down to network.dns.disableIPv6. This is usually false, so change it to true (right click, modify, type true) and restart mozilla. I noticed an immediate improvement. This should fix the mozilla problem without affecting other network processes.
Good point...my pleasure...O.K. Here is what you have to do.
Apparently IPv6 causes some problems with DNS.
i found easy instructions on line...
su
for root privilage, then type
echo "alias net-pf-10 off" >> /etc/modprobe.conf
echo "alias ipv6 off" >> /etc/modprobe.conf
