Hi,

I have a brand new installation of kubuntu fiesty fawn. It's on a 2.2ghz with 700ish mb of ram.

When I try browsing any websites it takes A REALLY LOOONNNNGGGG time for the page to load. After the page is loaded, you can reload it pretty quick.

My first assumptions are that this is a dns related issue. I checked out the resolv.conf file and it has 3 entries.

search krausonline.com (isp)
192.168.1.222 (router)
4.2.2.2 (sprint - just in case)

I've tried removing and differnt combos of this file. I've tried resetting up the networking all to no avail.

My windows box is just fine and even my other linux server is pings out fast, and is quick.

It seems to be just this machine which used to run windows pretty good.

Any ideas of what to check?

FYI -

I also turned off ip6 just to see if that will help, no dice.
I went into about:config with firefox and turned off the ip6 stuff in that.

Thanks,

Try killing IPv6 system wide. What you have done only stops Firefox from making IPv6 requests. Any other IP application will cause timeouts, DNS lookup, or a mail program etc.

I had the problem on Mandriva 2007.1 and killed it by editing the start up scripts for eth0. Here is what I did to fix it. In the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 I added these lines,

You will have to figure out where your start up scripts on Kubuntu are, or possibly there is another way to stop IPv6, system wide on a Ubuntu flavor.

Hope this helps.
