dns-prob?

hi,
yesterday i installed suse 10. everything fine - except networking. it's no
problem to access the wap (dhcp works perfect), but it takes about ~ 2 min
for a page to load (although a ping to the page is no problem, response < 3
ms).
can it be a dns-problem (although resolving is in a terminal no problem)???

realy URGENT!
thx.

Hi Juergen,

DNS could be the problem. You may try to disable IPv6.
Try this advice:
http://portal.suse.de/sdb/en/2003/10...illa_ipv6.html
The one that you need is for 9.1, but I have feeling that
the change should look like this:
alias net-pf-10 ipv6
to
#alias net-pf-10 ipv6
install ipv6 /bin/true
This will comment out alias line, and install nothing without errors.
See man page for command true

Also have a look in yast>System>/etc/sysconfig Editor and do a search
for ipv6, here you can turn off ipv6 for KDE and other values.

I used that before, but I never found detailed references what exactly will
be done when I set variables trough YaST. There is some spartan comment in
appropriate files next to variable and that is all. Some of them are
sufficient, some not.

I had the same problem until I used different nameservers.
Now dns resolution is very fast.
give it a try.
