slow internet speed in linux
my cable modem internet speed is 256kbps and i get full of that in windows, but when i switch over to linux i only get about 16kbps. i have specified dns servers but the speed is still very low.
anyone have any suggestions? |
Re: slow internet speed in linux
sorry forgot to mention, its suse8.0
|
It is because suse used ipv6 and it is not supported by many websites. Try doing this:
disable ipv6 in the kernel: Make these changes in your /etc/modprobe.conf as root: alias net-pf-10 off alias ipv6 off So turn these off. Also make sure your resolv.conf has proper domain name and routing information. Post back if this doesnt solve the problem. |
Re: Re: slow internet speed in linux
thanks a lot for your suggestion.i am sorry for my late response as i was away from my computer.
i made the changes , turn off ipv6 in modules.conf. my resolve.conf reads as below search H#@H#@ nameserver 62.31.64.39 nameserver 62.31.112.39 nameserver 62.31.144.39 the nameservers respond to the ping and also i added another line domain local it has improved the speed........... and i am getting about 170 kpps but not quite the windows speed which gets to about 240 kpbs |
