    Fresh install of 10.4 = Internet is slow!

    Guys,

    I installed a fresh copy of 10.4 onto my laptop alongside windows 7 pro. Internet is horribly slow, sometimes taking a minute for the page to render. I have a solid 10/10Mbt LAN line which is working fine in Windows.

    Any ideas on a fix?

    Had the same issue with my laptop on wireless.

    In order to help you out we need more information. Give us all the details you can.

    ideally you could run some kind of system info program and post the results here.

    most importantly post your motherboard model number and your network card.

    In my particular case it was a driver issue. The ubuntu drivers that installed automatically in my system would only take me to around 100kb/s so i had to install windows drivers with nisdwrapper. after that i have 900 Kb/sec downloads )

    Re: Fresh install of 10.4 = Internet is slow!

    Bump



    These are the results im getting, it seems then that the speed is not the problem, maybe one that could exist in FF?

    The problem is also not with WiFi, its a cable connection!

    Re: Fresh install of 10.4 = Internet is slow!

    HI,

    I assume you're using Firefox?

    By default IPV6 is enabled, so when Firefox tries resolve a web address it tries IPV6 before IPV4. You can probably safely diaable IPV6 (I have). To do this open Firefox and in the address bar type:

    Code:
    about:config
    Click the button to allow access.
    In the filter bar type IPV6.
    You'll then only get one entry called network.dns.disableIPv6
    Double click this to change its value to True

    Here's a link to some more firefox tweaks you can try:http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix...0-04lucid.html

    Thanks for the crucial info. This was the only problem I was running into. Upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and all seems to be running great now.

    I've tried to disable IPv6 in Firefox twice using this method.....it won't let me.I double-click on it,and nothing happens.

    I was able to disable it system-wide,just not in Firefox.
