if you are talking about the slow browsing. I just did what the other guy said. I edited my resolv.conf file and made sure the primary DNS is my ISP's.

Hi,
I use MDK 10 and my web browsing is always extremely slow behind my router. When I boot into windows browsing is nice, but it is very slow using Konqueror and Mozilla. Google suggested that I manually set my DNS servers, but when I do that it always sets the DNS server back to the IP of my router. Does changing the DNS server do anything? What else should I try? Web browsing is nice and speedy at work with the T3 connection.
Thanks!

After installing Mandrake 10.0 I noticed that Konqueror was extremely slow in resolving hosts.
Once a host was found the Konqueror was at maximum speed.
It took me some time to figure out what the problem was, but found a solution here : http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=2135

There seems to be alot of this going on lately. The consensus seems to be that ipv6 is causing it. If you want to disable ipv6 you just add the following line to either /etc/modules.conf for 2.4 kernel or /etc/modprobe.conf for 2.6 kernel.

alias net-pf-10 off

This solution works for me.

However I discovered that the main reason for slow internet traffic was a problem on the LAN.
LAN is behind IPcop. Green and Orange network were connected to 1 switch.
This caused a lot of "martian source" messages by IPcop.
Using a separate swithc for Green and Orange network solved all network congestion problems.
