    I've seen this when no gateway IP address was set up in YaST.

    I have two nets at home, one for business use and one for home use. Each net
    has a separate drop from Time Warner Cable, with the business net having
    fixed IP address service.

    For the home net, I use a D-Link wireless router/switch/firewall (about
    $75). The D-Link box gets the IP from the cable company, and then I set the
    gateway on the home net Linux box to 192.168.0.1 (this is the default
    private network address on the LAN side of the D-Link box; I've changed it
    to something else...)

    On the business net, the gateway IP address is fixed, and is of course
    provided by the cable company.

    Bottom Line, get a D-Link or LinkSys cable modem/router/switch and I'll
    wager that your problem will disappear.

    Good luck!

    |
    |Anyone know why name resolution using my cable provider's
    |nameservers is
    |impossibly slow on a standard untweaked 8.2 install, but quite
    |fast with
    |WinXP on the same machine, same provider, same nameservers?
    |
    |I see the same slowness whether or not my firewall is running, and
    |whether or not I'm running a local cacheing nameserver.
    |
    |Thanks.
