Hi folks,
FC3
Mozilla Firefox
Standard firewall - Iptable
My workstation is connected to 1.5Mb ADSL broadband. Recently on browsing Internet it takes a considerable time connecting websites. It did not happen in the past. I contacted the ISP reporting this problem. After checking the network he requested me taking following measures;
1) ping website checking whether there are package losses
2) disable auto dectect settings
3) reduce cache to 30Mb
Hereinunder are the results
1) # ping -c 25 yahoo.com
Code:
PING yahoo.com (216.109.112.135) 56(84) bytes of data.
.....
......
--- yahoo.com ping statistics ---
25 packets transmitted, 25 received, 0% packet loss, time 31926ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 298.039/303.828/309.182/3.021 ms, pipe 2
# ping -c 25 google.com
Code:
PING google.com (64.233.167.99) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- google.com ping statistics ---
25 packets transmitted, 25 received, 0% packet loss, time 28713ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 265.137/267.465/270.636/1.427 ms, pipe 2
No packet loss found.
2) Mozilla firefox
Preference
General -> Connection -> Connection Settings ->
Configure Proxies to Access the Internet
Only check - Direct connection to the Internet
3) Privacy -> Cache -> Use up to: 50000 (original) KB of disk space for the cache
Changed to : 30000 KB
Re-start Mozilla firefox - situation remained more less the same
Re-boot PC -> start Mozilla Firefox again - not much improvement.
Please advise what other measures I can take. TIA
