I am having trouble with slow internet access. I have a Shuttle XPC
currently running redhat fedora, but I had the same problem with
Mandrake 9.1. This box also has Windows 2000 and also on the LAN is a
Dell Dimension running WinXPpro. The LAN uses a Linksys
router/firewall (NAT) and then connects to the internet via cable
modem. The Windows systems are both getting about 540 kbps on
numion.com. Using Linux it is about 10 times slower! I have tried
Mozilla, Konqueror, and Opera....all the same results. The box picks
up IP via the router's DHCP and it seems to have the right DNS entries
and route shows the right gateway address. I don't think this is a DNS
problem. Also, even trying to use the redhat update utility is
unbearable slow, so I don't think it's just http (but I'm not
completely sure of this). This seems to be some problem between Linux
and my router, but I'm not sure of that either. I have played with
various Linux distros for several years, but I don't use it full time
and am not a Linux expert. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
