Have you disabled IPv6 on your system? If it takes time doing a lookup
then I would bet it tries IPv6 first, fails and then IPv4 goes through. A
speed test would be using IPs already (resolve once, then test speed with
IPs) so it will not show the initial slowness and you probably will not
notice it since the entire process takes several seconds to a minute or two.

Good luck.

As another test just try to dig something:

time dig google.com
time dig novell.com
time dig sourceforge.net
time dig slashdot.org

Do the same test with your wireless adapter. Time ‘Real’ time is the one
you care about in this case.

Good luck.

I went into yast > network settings. And in the global tab I “unchecked” enable IPv6 then clicked “edit” on my ethernet card, and changed the dchp from “dchp versions 4 and 6” to “dchp versions 4 only” Rebooted, and I’m still getting the “resolving…” for 10 seconds in chrome and “looking up…” for 10 seconds in mozilla before it even displays anything. I did the “time dig google.com” along with the other sites, the real time was around .090s. So that seems fine. Even logging onto AIM on kopete takes 10 seconds for the list to load using eth0. Any other suggestions?

Not sure… if you are still getting the ‘Resolving…’ message for ten
seconds I would still think it is DNS-related. Perhaps get and post a LAN
trace of what you are doing and see if that helps:

sudo zypper in tcpdump #in case you do not have it already
sudo /usr/sbin/tcpdump -s 0 -w /tmp/cap0.cap
<perform test here>
Ctrl+C the ‘tcpdump’ command when done testing and post the /tmp/cap0.cap
file.

Good luck.

When I went home, I plugged the laptop into the router, and using eth0, it was just as fast as the wifi at home. So I believe I found the problem is the the lan hardware at work. We have an old dsl modem with 4 ethernet ports. A Netopia Cayman 3346, atleast 3-4 years old. The windows machines work perfect on the lan, but my laptop with opensuse 11.2 still has that 10 sec delay when loading webpages.

When I connect on my home lan, and check out the routers dhcp clients list, it doesn’t show a name for my linux computers, only IP, unlike the windows pc who shows the name and ip. So what would be the main problem in this dslmodem/router that causes webpages to load slowly? Something to do with the dns of my router? This really isn’t a problem anymore, not going to be able to fix it, just curious as to what is causing this delay.

I can still post the cap0 file if you like, but figure its isolated to my lan hardware at work, not sure if the cap is worth looking at now.

Good troubleshooting there. Well I’m willing to bet a small sum that the
hostname showing up is completely irrelevant. The web servers to which
you connect don’t give two figs about your own hostname and do not expect
to know it. The switches and routers moving your packets around,
similarly, do not care because they deal at layers two and three (vs.
seven where DNS lives) so that really shouldn’t matter.

IF your work router isn’t able to get a hostname for your machine for some
reason and IF it is programmed to try to look that up each time something
comes from it when that is not known then MAYBE that is the cause, but
I’ve never heard of that kind of unreasonable requirement before. The LAN
trace could be useful still, especially if you can get a similar one from
a windows box at work to compare what’s happening differently between the
two, but it’s up to you.

Good luck.
