Very very slow internet in 10.1
Okay, I installed 10.1 on another partition on my XP laptop. Besides the fact that I don't know how to get the Intel 2200 wireless working, I plugged in the ethernet cable directly from the router. Firefox, Mozilla, Konqueror, and Epiphany all are dog dog dog slow in internet browsing. I tried erasing the eth0 connection and doing it over again but that still doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong, what should I be looking for?

try pinging some of those web sites and see what transit times you get also look at the number of missing packets. I have used all of these Firefox, Mozilla, Konqueror on MDK10.1 without a problem.
Could your wireless card be getting in the way??

disable ipv6 in the kernel, you will not have to recompile, there r several posts here on how to do that, you can also disable ipv6 in mozilla (firefox etc...), see if helps... i also posted on the forums here and experienced problems with mandrake 10.1 and network speeds (don't use it anymore).

No, I don't think so. I was connected via the eth0 port using my ethernet cable.

Okay, I'll have to search on how to do that. Not that good with Linux yet.  But thanks!

I give up for now. I might have to have detailed instructions on how to do some of this stuff. I am at the bottom of the knowledge ladder for Linux.

Its possible your system has other ideas.
Check that your packets aren't being routed thru your wireless network, it could be that your system is trying to use the wireless connection first timing out and then going to your eth0 connection. Traceroute might give you an idea of where things are going amiss

In the terminal as root type:
echo "alias net-pf-10 off" >> /etc/modprobe.conf
That'll disable ipv6. Then do a restart and it should work faster.

BTW, is that permanent command, or do I have to retype that everytime I reboot?

That's permanent. It adds that line to your modprobe.conf file. If you want to reenable it, I guess you'd just remove that line.

yeah, it should look something like this in the console:
# echo "alias net-pf-10 off" >> /etc/modprobe.conf
(don't type the #, it just shows you're logged in as su)

Gotcha. I probably won't get to it until tonight. I am going to the hospital to see my wife. She had total hip replacement surgery a few days ago. I'll let you know how I made out with in the land of CLI.
