Slow internet connection
Hi.
I have my internet connection on Mandrake 9.2 working, but compared to when I connect with windows, it is a good deal slower :( I have a connexant modem with a fully licensed driver from linuxant so it should be up to 56k. When I open the KPPP statistics, the max KBs I seem to get is 3-4 KBs. Is this normal? :confused: Are there any tweaks that can get things running quicker? Cheers, DBG. |
Hi
Have you looked in ifcfg-ppp? (etc/sysconfig/network-scripts). Whats in there? I would imagine that without compression your 56kbit/sec line might connect at about 3-4 kbytes/sec dependant on your ISP. If you mean 3-4 kbits/sec then there is a problem!! Look in /proc/net for your modem device. What does it say in that (virtual) file? I am using one of the connexant PCI ADSL modems and that was not much fun too setup. Thankfully someone had kindly hacked their out-of-date driver :-) Maybe there is a better unofficial driver out there at the Lin-Modems site? Just a few thoughts hopefully might help??!! |
