Something odd is going on. My network connection is acting up on one of my machines at home. It only occurs in this machine that's running Slackware-Current (I haven't updated in at least a month).
Check this:
Code:

Mind bendingly slow, considering that I'm on a nice cable pipe.
I know that it's not a DNS issue, everything is correctly pointing to where it should, and I didn't have this problem a few hours ago on this box.
Any thoughts?
