[Discuss] firefox question

[Kari Kostamo]

Good day Peter

I would download the latest version of firefox, remove the current one you
are using and then install the latest one.

Do you have another computer you can network to to test the connection speed
internally?

Are any other programs running very slowly: FTP, e-mail, ping, traceroute,
etc...

There may be some other reason for the slow internet connection.

Subject: [Discuss] firefox question

My Firefox (default version 1.5.0.1-9) is very sluggish. Except for Google,
it either loads a page very slowly or not at all.

This is a new install of Fedora Core 5. The machine has an onboard LAN card
and a Linksys LNE100TX PCI LAN card. During the install I specified
deactivating the onboard LAN card (eth0) and activating the Linksys card
(eth1). I read that core 5 has drivers for this card so I haven't installed
any drivers for it. Some settings (from the menu) that I checked follow:

Network Proxy Preferences is set to "Direct Internet Connection"

System/Administration/Network/Devices confirms eth0 is InActive and eth1 is
Active.
System/Administration/Network/Hardware confirms the Linksys card is eth1,
and both eth0 and eth1 are "Ok".
System/Administration/Network/DNS/Primary DNS = 64.59.160.13
System/Administration/Network/DNS/Secondary DNS = 64.59.160.15
System/Administration/Network/DNS/Tertiary DNS = blank
System/Administration/Network/DNS/DNS search path = pk.shawcable.net

System/Administration/Services NetworkManager is stopped
System/Administration/Services NetworkManagerDispatcher is stopped


As I said above, Firefox works but really slowly. Any help would be
appreciated.

Peter.
