I have an automatic IP to the Cables infrastructure but I do have to run a ISP login script to get connected to the Internet. ( cables Co provides to different ISPs).
d/l tests vs the Cables Co. intrAnet were successfull and speeds as expected, and as fast as in WinXP (same PC).
but d/l tests vs the ISP (Internet) where at 50% of normal speeds.
Example from System Log :
* anon log[decaps_gre
ptp_gre.c:407]: buffering packet 55280 (expecting 55279, lost or reordered
* anon log[decaps_gre
ptp_gre.c:398]: discarding duplicate or old packet 58272 (expecting 58293)
And I have LOTS of those messages ( which will explain slowdown) .
I'm running Suse 10.1
