Hello,

Several days ago responses to many, but not all, of my internet requests slowed from long to never.

I'm on Verizon FIOS; running Firefox on a Debian Lenny system with 6GB or RAM and 500GB HD with 32GB cache.

internettrafficreport.com shows index of 84 for North America. I've pinged a few sites -- see returns from 16ms to 91ms.

I've also rebooted my Verizon DSL router.

Can anyone suggest diagnostics that can help me pin down the problem?

Note my workstation stats below.

Many thanks,

LRP

Have you disabled ipv6 in firefox?

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the response. I'll look into it.

But, I'm wondering why would this problem just show up after years of acceptable response times?

Thanks again,

LRP

I don't have an answer for that. Another thing that may help is to disable ipv6 on your debian system as well. This link should help with that.

Anyway, good luck and let us know how it goes!
